http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slackware#Name Apparently Wikipedia is not aware of your knowledge or are we talking about another distro? In any case I would find it very silly of someone to not use a particular product just because of the name if on any other functional metrics the product was superior. Note, I've never used Slackware so I make no insinuations about how awesome or crappy Slackware really is. -----Original Message----- From: Drmgiver <drmgiver at gmail.com> Reply-to: TCLUG Mailing List <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> To: TCLUG Mailing List <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Window Maker distro Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2011 12:26:47 -0600 Mailer: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101208 Thunderbird/3.1.7 How is explaining why I won't be using that distro trolling?
