I would do so.

Nice, and systemd free...

Uh, yeah. Everything was systemd-free in 2007.

Holy necro-file-ia Batman! ...should've at least mentioned that it still is and Alien Bob's Live Slack is really really good.

that's a 64Bit CPU

and it has an install to HDD script built in and it's real current slackware
it also comes in 4 64Bit flavors

That's a 2007 question.

PLZ. close this ASAP !

did u notice the date ? ? ?

Sure ! You are a model for us all, concerning netiquette and other stuff...

I started online with BBS and only later graduated to Mosaic and Gopher and even later was one of those who actually bought a subscription to Giganews. Despite all this timer and experience I still don't understand the reason for the bias against so-called necro-posting. In many if not most cases someone found an older post still valuable in some way so what's the big deal? I am much more peeved by posts even by institutions that are not obviously dated where one has to search to find out if the information is still valid or relevant. This even extends to modern services like Netflix and Amazon where people are expected to pay for viewing shows that were free 10,20, 30, even 50+ years ago.

That someone found a post from 10 years ago regarding Live Slack valuable I found amusing and mildly interesting, not offensive. Am I missing something?

I quite agree with you, but... The problem I see, having been "victim" myself :), is that when you start to read thread, unless you take some attention to the posting date, you sometimes read dozens of messages which are 10 years ago, and you don't know it...

I think it's an "interface" problem: you should be "ostensibly" warned that you are reading an old thread (color code or some kind of "banner" added somewhere). So old threads could be reasonably revived, without polluting users trying to answer an 10 years old or more question.

There you go! Great idea. You hear that Interwebz? Start dating and even highlighting those dates all published material.

:d . . .

Wow! Really?
Sigh...
And how many of those still are? I take note of systemd free distros because systemd is a mistake...
