I've always thought that the principles and ideals behind slackware fit very closely to the Swedes' word "lagom". I discovered the word years ago. Anyway, I wanted to share that with y'all.

snipped from Wikipedia:

Lagom (pronounced [ˈlɑ̀ːɡɔm]) is a Swedish word with no direct English equivalent, meaning "just the right amount".

[Lagom expresses the idea] of "just enough", and can be compared to idiom "less is more", or contrasted to the value of "more is better".

In a single word, lagom is said to describe the basis of the Swedish national psyche, one of consensus and equality, [and it] is still widely considered ideal to be modest and avoid extremes. "It's the idea that for everything there is the perfect amount: The perfect, and best, amount of food, space, laughter and sadness."

I'd say that describes Slackware perfectly.

Sounds about right.

I should go and live in Sweden!

precise, Slackware är lagom
( just to pose with my 3 words swedish knowledge :-)

absolut

Jo, Slackware är väldigt lagom, och lämpar sig väl för det svenska lynnet.

There is the English word noggin, which although it refers to a specific quantity (quarter of a pint), I've also seen it used to mean "just the right amount".

Common use around here is usually in reference to someone's head or the short planks of timber which act as braces in the timber frame of a wall.

So it was no coincidence that I use Slackware and love beer!

So "I discovered a noggin was more than a noggin when I cracked my noggin on a noggin." is not gibberish but merely an overloaded variable?

Mind you, they outlawed prostitution in all forms and shapes, so it won't do for me.

Amsterdam is but a 1 hour flight from there!
