My beard's about 45 years old, grew it when I was 24. Rather attached to it, now.
(mice, cookies, bras, panties, socks & stockings, aliens - and now beards!!!)

Which is good in such threads.

Beards = itchy :(

Mine isn't, never has been.
:p

I see that now. Thanks for the heads-up. I shave once per week. I like to get a bit of growth, but, not too much.

The "secret" is to wash it occasionally along with the rest of the face. :D

A beer if you dye it pure grey before shaving, pics for proof please. heh. Joking about the beer (geographically speaking), honestly you inspired my black friday purchases this year. Normally I don't buy anything except this year I tipped LQ, the devuan unix guy, and bought a couple of shirts from store.slackware.com. I bailed out on your tip because I couldn't remember paypal settings... sorry. Got it now, so off to the tip store. Cheers, happy holidays. peace, and all that. Have fun shaving! :).

If I mention Bob and the Church of the SubGenius is a big sarcasm about the
modern religion *consumerism* is, more than one smarty here won't understand
what I'm talking about and will consider my comment off-topic.

This thread has been offtopic since the first few posts. :)

But if it hadn't been, we wouldn't have the chance to see Alien's beard. So everything is good. :D

Hi,
Nice beard! I wish that I could grow a beard. Jut not doable for me, comes in sporadically or in blotches. Maybe a Rogaine for beards? :)

I ran through this thread quickly. My thoughts: By choosing Slackware, I infer that I trust those behind the scenes and their choices. Same as if I choose Ubuntu, FreeBSD, etc. I really don't see a need to run to FreeBSD, or other. I just came from FreeBSD and I'm moving back to Slackware. When will I ever learn?

My beard is itchy, also. I may just shave it.

Welcome back home. When I get the itch to try new distros I install a gnarly VM. That's one of the reasons that I like OpenBSD so much. It is dead simple to use lilo to dual boot Slackware and OpenBSD on the same hard drive. I don't need to install another hard drive to dual boot my BSD. Here is the last snippet of my /etc/lilo.conf on this Slackware64-current box.

The trick is to use the Slackware DVD to set the fourth partition as A6 (type OpenBSD) during the Slackware installation process. After Slackware is installed then install OpenBSD with your CD, the installer will see the OpenBSD partition. After the installation of OpenBSD re-boot back into Slackware and run lilo. At next boot you'll see OpenBSD listed as an OS on the Slackware splash screen.

What I don't like about OpenBSD is the fact it can't access ext4 partitions. Other than that I loved it.

Yup. Slackware is and always will be my first love. It is nice to be able to boot into OpenBSD and get my BSD fix.
I am really looking forward to Slackware 14.2! Maybe we will have a release candidate before xmas. :)
