samac,

Voted. :)

Kallaste 08-21-2013 04:57 PM

Done. I looked at the other blogs on the list and can honestly say he has them beat hands down.

fgcl2k 08-21-2013 05:07 PM

Done.

kikinovak 08-21-2013 05:12 PM

That's funny. I read the initial article for the first round, and since Eric's blog wasn't mentioned, I decided to add him manually to the list, thinking something like "Heck, there have to be at least half a dozen of die-hard Slackers out there who will vote for him, so he'll get at least an honorable mention."

Now I'm just stunned.

ricky_cardo 08-21-2013 05:27 PM

you got my vote for sure!!

cmiles 08-21-2013 05:33 PM

I voted for Alien, and that's because it's my actual choice. I didn't just give him the vote for political reasons.

jostber 08-22-2013 01:29 AM

I have clicked! :) Alien's blog is a great resource and deserves the top spot.

Thank you, all who voted. And thank you FOSS Force for the attention you guys drew from non-Slackware users to my site.
This was fun, and unexpected. Unexpected because I visited some of the other blogs (I knew Martin Graesslin's blog already and appreciate his writings) and thought that some of the other blogs had more real stuff to tell than I can - check out Shallow Thoughts especially.

Eric

brianL 08-26-2013 02:04 PM

Congratulations, Eric!

Hi,

Just had a few! Cheers to Alien_Bob.

kikinovak 08-27-2013 01:11 AM

Just submitted the story to LXer.com. Now let's see if they are willing to spread the gospel.

H_TeXMeX_H 08-27-2013 03:06 AM

Congrats. It looks like there is plenty of voting power behind Slackware.

I voted too, but didn't care to post about it.

. . . an impressive 523 votes in our final round–which represents 50% of the total votes cast.
523 votes out of ~1000 and there were ten competitors . . . wow.

Slack on.
