This is simply false. The Coward Hicks has been fired half a dozen
times (not including twice by his own mother) and, while no cause was
given, the first change made each time The Coward got the boot was the
OS. Invariably the client went to windows once The Coward and his trash
was cleared out.

By the time Coward Hicks reaches official status slackware will have all
the relevance of gw-basic.

Ahhh, you're *not* back in the loony bin where they wear white coats.
Been wondering.

The official Slackware website at
www.slackware.com says this (on page one;)

Recently the Slackware Linux Essentials
(the reference book for Slackware users)
has been revised; while we announce it,
we would like to thank everyone who took
part in it, and congratulate them for
the well done job! The homepage for this
project (which is now an official
Slackware project) is www.slackbook.org,
so visit that site if you want to read
more (and read the book online)

www.slackbook.org lists the authors as

Alan Hicks
Chris Lumens
David Cantrell
Logan Johnson

and goes on to say

This website is the home of the Revised
Slackware Book Project (the project).

The regulars on alt.os.linux.slackware
(a newsgroup) have been discussing the
revision of "The Book", otherwise known
as "Slackware Linux Essentials - The
Official Guide To Slackware Linux"

This website is the result of that
project.

Should you be willing to contribute to
this endeavor whether with your own personal
writing or by pointing out errors and
corrections, you can send me an e-mail
at the address alan at lizella dot net

So, mister "margarino" (if that's really
your name), how much more official can
something get that being "an official
Slackware project?

Make sure you get the paper version. It's pretty hard to wipe your
ass with an ebook...
