Some time in the past, Telsa Gwynne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> scripsit, > I thought the Slackware version jump was > done for an excellent reason: I too heard the "Because I'm fed up > of being asked why Slackware is behind!" story :) But I haven't seen the same question being asked about Debian (hi Dan!) -- is it just because we Debian stalwarts, with our talk of GNU/Linux and political tirades about open source vs free software, are seen as just too weird for the average Linux crowd? <removes tongue from cheek> My first Linux system was Slack 3.*. It was small and I learnt about linux the hard way, and refamiliarised myself with shell commands. Now I have a bigger machine and use apt-get because I can't be bothered checking dependencies myself <g> -- but I'm glad I do know how to compile a program from source, because Slack forced me to.
