RE: [TCLUG:22428] Caldera sucks

["Austad, Jay" <austad@marketwatch.com>]

I ran slackware back in the 1.3 days.  It was definitely a good distribution
to learn what was going on then...   I haven't used it recently though.  I
had it set up to autodial the U of MN modem pool everyday during the hours I
was at school so I could get to it from school.  It was nice when they
didn't meter your access at all...

Slack is kind of excellent when it comes to learning what is actually going 
on.  If you don't want to know, you should run something else.
