Sorry. I dislike these flame wars intensely, and I just happen to find
the above "concept" one of the more disgusting ones ("Hey, I'm *macho*,
I use an operating system that is PAINFUL because that way I gain
much").
Next I guess you'll tell me "you get what you pay for". I haven't been
this close to flaming someone in a *long* time,

PS. I tested out Slackware a few weeks ago, and my reaction was "hey,
this install looks like a DOS program". I'm not ashamed to admit that I
was immensely pleased.
