Hahahahaha, good one!
We will prevail! Slackware!

That's against the LQ Rules!

Well, in that case, just learn Hebrew. Unlike Latin, it's still a living language. :-) Ad shigaOn has a nice ring no?

כִּ֣י צַ֤ו לָצָו֙ צַ֣ו לָצָ֔ו קַ֥ו לָקָ֖ו קַ֣ו לָקָ֑ו זְעֵ֥יר שָׁ֖ם זְעֵ֥יר שָֽׁם׃

Quia manda, remanda ; manda, remanda ;
exspecta, reexspecta ; exspecta, reexspecta
modicum ibi, modicum ibi.

For they hear:
“Order on order, order on order,
line on line, line on line;
a little here, a little there.”

The order here isn't that things are in order, it's an order to do something, for anybody wondering. And the Hebrew you posted is actually using the preposition "to" or "for" instead of "on". Naturally, not all things translate verbatim from one language to the other.

We who are fluent speakers don't typically use the niqud (vowels). Northern Semitic languages, to the best of my knowledge, mostly followed the ancient Egyptians in that regard - consonants only. :-)

מה יהיה יהיה, זה אתה שאומר את זה...
עד שגעון אתה תחזור על המשפט עם הצו, הקו, וזעיר.

You learn summat new every day. Yon Wikipedia's got nowt on't Slackware forum. I'm gobsmacked.

Could you please give us some examples what so special Slackware provides comparing to CRUX? From my experience, CRUX provides more relevant base set of packages (core, opt, xorg, compat, contrib). The rest you find somewhere else or do on your own like in Slackware, but it's simpler and faster to do that in CRUX. Don't forget that CRUX is released every 12-18 month :-)

You're a CRUX user and you feel the need to register here on LQ with the member name of slackhater?! Enjoy CRUX. It's odd but I have no desire to post in the CRUX forum. Trolls, trolls, and more trolls. Heh.

That's just as well. They don't have one.

I'm many years Slackware user who switched to CRUX, but I still follow Slackware ChangeLog and news anyways. It's interesting to observe how used to be great Linux distribution is dying.

Because CRUX users don't praise its creator everywhere and all the time. They report bugs, fix them and participate in CRUX development. Slackware users on the other hand live in the past, talk about mighty Pat and his close servants. As a result, slackers await for new release 5+ years.

I used Crux for several years and never contributed anything to development. I wouldn't have known how to! And the reason Crux has no forum is that, like LFS, they prefer to use a mailing list. Slightly different technology interface, so what?

What I don't understand is why you guys have such a desperate need to make war on each other. It's been going on for weeks now. As soon as they close one thread, another pops up. I mean, who posts in a Slackware forum with a name like slackhater? Is it some kind of virility contest?

It's impossible to argue with a resentful and hateful troll with multiple handles.

Picture having to learn French, German (or any European language for that matter)
but without the use of vowels

I know this is responding to quite an old post on this thread, however, I liked rkelsen's post before reading yours. When I did, I was thinking of people like ivandi (and now slackhater) who used to use Slackware but feel some need to come into the Slackware forum and start knocking on Slackware and its users. This I don't understand. When someone moves on, they should just move on and not feel some need to attack people who are still happy where they're at.

OP was respectful and while I share many people's thoughts on not needing to announce leaving, OP still announced it with tact and without malice.

Best of luck OP! I hope CRUX provides you what you're looking for.
