You constantly check slackware.com and distrowatch for signs of the next slack release.

You would rather use MPlayer from the command line

... you install slackware on a laptop

-J

........you return to this thread on your lunchbreak and read some more

.........you've had FC3 and Ubuntu off the cover of a Linux mag for two months now and a spare 10 gig on your hd but you're too much into the comfort zone to bother with them

..........you post to this thread again (note to self: must get a life)

... you convert a perfectly good Debian production server to Slackware because it *feels better*

when you rip a CD track,
mp3 encode it,
listen to it,
and mail it to some windows-using colleagues as an attachment
all from a command line just for fun.

When you hate KDE and Gnome
for junking X 3-button scrollbars for the CRAP windows style
scrollbars.
AND for not opening a bloody file as TEXT instead of
saying "open with?"

... you rate the day you made it into the Slackware current changelog right up there with the birth of your first child.

You quit checking Distrowatch because if it is not Slackware you just don't care anymore

....when you read this thread everyday and finally reply to it.

....when you try for days to get ATI drivers to work

.....when you finally get games installed properly running 3d acceleration, then never play the games anyway.

.....when you get scared of the greeting sounds running KDE on someone else's *nix machine

When people ask you about ms products and you say "I don't remember how to do that"
while inside you REALLY don't remember or care to remember and you feel jolly
well good that you have forgotten.

When you pass up a date to spend a night with Slackware!!!

...if you're using KDE and are completely surprised when anybody tells you that there is an app called "Konqueror", which is able to move, copy or delete files and surf directories
...if you're pressing Alt+F2 and the first command in the drop-down list is "konsole"
...if ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar.../ChangeLog.txt is your starting page
...if you wonder if the standard KDE wallpaper has changed after fresh install of another distro
...if a crash of the X server (or anything else) does not get you think "Oh my god! What should I do?", but instead "Yeah! Give it to me! Let's see how quick I can get it fixed!"
...if you're thinking "wtf?? he uses X, he isn't a real Slacker!"

My 2 cents :-)

Enjoy Slack!

Hey..I have Slackware on a laptop....oh...wait...you're right..

I have slackware on a laptop as well, and I went through a lot of effort to figure out how to operate the card readers on it. Even though I don't own any cards. I also tried to get it to speedstep, more or less, and have it plugged in running as fast as possible at all times.

Now thats complete devotion to your distro
