A few surprises, many non-surprises in a Slackware-focused board...

Thank you, jeremy!

Thank you, jeremy!

Yeah, I LOLed at these two:
Server Distribution of the Year - Debian Stable (26.81%)
Live Distribution of the Year - Slackware Live Edition (31.43%)

Rest were predictable.

Did I miss another poll?

Since you only have "1" post, I don't think so

fixitmanarizona · 02-18-2020, 05:31 PM

Jazmann, What verndog means is, you are required to have at least one post prior to voting. Since you're only showing this one post...
logic says, you didn't vote if this is your first post. (Unless you registered and voted under another account.) Make sense?

BAKABON · 02-18-2020, 11:15 PM

nice

bskapsis · 02-21-2020, 01:01 PM

Normal results! Good job Jeremy!

Reziac · 03-02-2020, 03:58 PM

Not that the results are surprising, but there's always some result that I'd not heard of, so it's a good list of "stuff to check out".

ConnorEllington · 05-27-2020, 01:29 PM

Hi all!

YesItsMe · 05-28-2020, 01:41 AM
