> Ok, but what's SLS? The Softlanding Linux System, a distribution whose 1.03 contained so many annoying bugs that it gave rise to two distributions: - Slackware, which was a bugfixed SLS - Debian, which addressed the fundamental problem highlighted by SLS that Linux distributions are too complex to be maintained by a single individual; see the Debian Manifesto (http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ch5.html) Ray (whose first Linux was SLS 1.02 with an 0.99pl9 kernel, downloaded on 40 floppies) -- "Perhaps they spent some of the time writing the patent application. That task was surely harder than thinking of the technique." RMS on Amazon's 1-Click(R) patent, http://linuxtoday.com/story.php3?sn=13652
