What's darkstar?
 

It's a common word I've seen in the Slackware forums. I'm just curious what it is. Thanks.

a song by the grateful dead? :D

i think it used to be the default slackware hostname.

Ohhh!!! Cool!
My friend had an old version of Slackware. I guess that's what it is. :)

It is a reflection of Patrick Volkerding's personality and likely the name of a computer he owned/owns.

I hope not!:mad:
