Asking the right questions

Slackware was my first intel Linux. First linux ever was red hat for DEC alpha. Quite weird after OSF/1.

Still use slackware, though mostly now actual work is done on debian, arch, and alpine.

It’s much more… manual than others, I’ll admit. For me anymore it’s a labor of love.

Slackware: because I’m old and arch is too trendy.

If you’re worried about it still, it wasn’t nothing. Might not have risen to the legal definitions of SA, but the law isn’t a good yardstick for that. Might be worth talking more about to see how you really feel about it.

I just pop mine in my mouth every now and then.

There are ways to do it, buy per the EULA all are not allowed.

You should still do it. But be aware that you aren’t supposed to.

Challenge accepted!

I only have so many spoons, and the tasks are unending…
