There is no substitute
 

I run a variety of VMs, but, Slackware is and always will be my primary OS. There is no substitute. I love Slackware. Praise Bob! :)

You are preaching to the choir, brother!

While I agree with your statement 100%, I don't really see the point of this thread.

First of all, as kongbeowulf mentioned you're preaching to the choir.
Secondly, you state obvious things. We all know it:)

Hi,

Cabin fever is setting in. Walk outside for a true awakening! It's cold outside here, 10° and dropping. brrrr

Slackware changelog is slow as molasses so not much else too do. :)

We can witness the results of -current being kind of slow. Hitest seems to be loosing it:)
I'm not surprised. I switched to -current a few weeks ago and because of the fact that nothing's going on in -current I had to see my psychiatrist (based in Emacs)

Nope. I'm not losing it.......yet.
I just felt the need to talk about Slackware; I am marking time and feeling thankful tonight. I will take a walk outside, onebuck.
Yeah, I know I'm preaching to the choir, my friends. :)

Well - I've been installing a few different distros in vm's as well as a spare drive I have. None of them have lasted more than an hour or so with experimenting. Even if I have a catastrophic failure, I can have a new install of Slackware up and just like I now have in about an hour and a half. That includes all customizations. Aren't backups fun!

Exactly. I currently have a lot of VMs that I play with, but, when I run a new distro on a my HD it always falls short of my expectations and it does not feel right. It is very enjoyable to do a clean install of Slackware and set it up properly. :)

hell yeah

Ditto.

A couple of weeks ago I got a little bored so I wiped out my Slackware install and tried out Debian testing. Then decided I'd prefer Debian stable. Then after a few hours of playing with Squeeze I decided I missed Slackware and came running back.

So yes, there is no substitute for Slack. Also I think Linux has made me slightly insane. There is too much choice!

I have to confess: my name is Brian and I'm a slackophile.

Amen !

Yeah, I also love this magnificent distro, cause, it allows me to use my brain.

Dunno, it just works out of the box like any other distro.

Kind regards
