I shan't repeat what the others have said. I will simply point out that very early in the interview Pat was quoting Lao-Tzu. Later he quoted Einstein.
'nuff said. |
Thanks Pat!
Thanks all people that works on my fav linux distro of all time! I made some donations to the project. Could be a better way to support the project?? Maybe selling hardware with Slackware on it? Like low cost laptops etc...! |

half way down that post I figured the man will ask for driver support or why it ended (PDP) :eek: as I read on, it landed nicely on where we all stand now (both legs on Slackware) :hattip: |
Your last assertion isn't true.

I saw a interview with Linus!
He talks about Android and why it worked so fine. Because it is already installed on devices! A Slackware low cost hardware could be a good ideia! |
Great interview! It makes me realize how weird I am because I stayed with Slackware since the install was so easy I have tried the others but nothing can replace Slackware.

french translation of this interview
Hi,
With LQ's agreement, MrSpackMan (http://requiescant.tuxfamily.org) and I tried to translate in French this great interview for "Da Linux French Page" readers. After a week of collaborative work, the result is available here : http://linuxfr.org/news/traduction-d...xquestions-org Thank you for your comments, especially if you can improve some parts. Alain |

Otherwise, great post (I enjoyed it really). |
I think this (quite apparently) candid interview further reveal how the fruit of his efforts expose a quintessentially near-perfect engineering mind set at the helm.
The "new" box running 13.37 did seem a substantial shift from my sole previous implementation, which still runs 3.1 from a Walnut Creek copy. (Like our "B.D.F.L.", change occurs only when warranted here.) And its so much more fun knowing some of the back story. Thank you, great read. |
Thanks to Pat and all the developers for your amazing work.
Switched to Slackware more than 10 years ago, and not moving away from that 'confort zone'. Cheers, jdif |
Thanks for the interview! I'm ready for the AMA on reddit -)

Pat, maybe you're not rich but you're building something that will be memorized in the human history.
- You are who YOU are! - You're happy/comfort with the project, we'll be happy too. @Jeremy, thanks for your work and guys thanks for all your questions to help dig out a real PAT world. One of the best ways to say THANK YOU, I think, is making a donation here. - jazzi ++++++++++++ You are a warrior Fearless !!! With the dream You are friend Havn't met though You are my friend ++++++++++++ |
Thanks for interview and thank you Pat for all work on Slackware!

Excellent interview. It's good to have this kind of insights.
About the CMS for the Slackware.com website, in order not to reinvent the wheel and have something maintainable without having to invest too much time on it, he could use WordPress with the custom theme I did for Slackware-Es[dot]com . If someone here knows how to contact him (I don't), he/she might ask him about it. I could put the theme on a tar.gz file in order to be downloadable. I would also send the DB dump and website files (so he might have take a look at what plugins are being used). Anyways, just let me know in any case. |
@jespinal: I've emailed him an offer to do the exact same thing. He chose instead to just update the existing website to the point where it would run on a modern host.
