slack-faith catch phrase?


This thread inspired in part by the slacking Slack-faith thread...

Ubuntu has "Linux for Human Beings"
Debian is "The Universal OS"
Fedora tends to "Read Higher"

So what's our war cry? I've personally used "Linux para HOMBRES", which gets me labeled as sexist (no offense girls, most of you are manlier than me). (OK, you can take offense on that last remark).

I've always thought it was "Got Slack" or "Once you know Red Hat, you know Red Hat. Once you know Slackware, you know Linux." (substitute in your other distro of choice for Red Hat, depending on the situation). Maybe it's not, I dunno.

I've always thought some Distro should bill itself as, "Windows to the future."

Edit: That old saw about ...knowing Slack, knowing Linux ... is subject to make me try thinking up less complimentary ones.

That's great "bioe007"

How about the "KISS" stuff you read sometimes...
"Keep it Simple Stupid"

Most of the time it should be "How Stupid can I be" when I realize two hour later that I caused the problem.

Sorry, davimint, I just 'invented' KISS Linux about four months ago. It's a generic system based on the less-is-more principle. It's supposed to be especially good for using on external devices like USB HD/FLASH/CF or light hardware like wind-up laptops or old boxes, with a surprisingly complete GTK-1.2 desktop with a few hundred optional programs, dockapps, and appdirs.

well thats all very nice, but if we are to make a logo for slackware ,
i believe it cant be something like 'got slack'? its been a phrase that has been widely used from ... milk till god knows what.
nor it can be something that is linux oriented such as 'if you know slack, you know linux'. its 'limiting' the power of slackware to the linux-space in some sense...
do these make sense?

of course 'the universal OS' and 'read higher' don't sound too great either.

perhaps something like 'wish upon your slack', or some customized logos like the ones skype uses..
what do you think?

And here's one that I made (using the stuff from Slackware propaganda), unfortunately it never made the cut to be included on that page ... it's not too bad, 100% GIMPed:
