I don't start many threads.... maybe one every two or three months. But here
I go (again).

Can you imagine what the reaction might be if P.V. adopted Smart:
http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/07/07/1612259

What if Slackware all of a sudden jumped right into the the 21st century...
from where it is currently... in 1997.

Add Smart to a new KDE (which I expect in 11.0) and a new (Anaconda)
installer, and maybe a YaST-like control panel... and gee whiz... we might
get a distro that is MODERN.

What a concept.

Why do you use Slackware if you're dreaming of RedHat or Suse ?
Go and get a new Suse linux distro and live your life, stop dreaming it !

Smart already works pretty well on Slackware Linux, and with Slackware
repositories. Though, it relies on Python, and may not be ideal as
a default package manager for that reason (at least, I wouldn't install
unnecessary cruft on a Slack server).

UNIX is from the 60'ies and 70'ies, and most UNIX concepts work
very well in 2006. Older technology matured technology isn't bad,
often it is even better. And there will always be a group of people
who want to be able to read and hack the source of the utilities
that they use. You won't be able to do that with 200 MB gorillas.
Slackware Linux is working in a niche, and it is doing well there.

And loose the ability to make a custom installer by modifying a few
shell scripts in the initrd image. No thanks!

Slackware is not Red Hat or SUSE, and it doesn't need to be.

ANC, you are the living proof that this old Daoist proverb
is 100% true:

Those who speak, don't know.
Those who know, don't speak.

And with this, I'll bid you adieu, and I'll let you meditate
on the wisdom expressed in the two lines above.

He doesn't use Slackware. He's just the resident troll around here, and
posts crap like this to get a rise out of people. He has a known
history of being unable to use Slackware, and wonders how some are able
to do it. Just ignore him, as the rest of us do.

That's certainly true, and it works, though not as much as
he'd wish :-)

This is not exact, I believe it's more like he got bored of his
Subaru Forester automatic and changed it for a Testarossa to get
hype but now he's missing the climatizer and the TomTom and, most,
now he engaged first gear while thinking it was "parking gear"
he's a bit annoyed with keeping on the road ;-)

The "resident troll" is Dan C. ANC most certainly does understand
both the strengths and weaknesses of slackware, and because he is
not afraid to point out the weaknesses, he is hated by the zealots
in this ng.

Think of it this way. While ANC is playing some Bach on his system,
troll Dan C. is busy calling him a faggot and demanding that he turn
the Bach off and put Herman and the Hermits on instead.

We shit hard on Dan C. We shit in his face and we grind that shit
into all the orifices in his head, with our boots.

Oh. One of those "Too stupid too..." types.

I gonna make a startling suggestion - If you want clickity click package
management why not use a distro that has that "feature".

OIC - Too stupid to put that together. Maybe he should stick to microwave

No, you're going down the wrong path if you are agreeing with idiot
and zealot, Dan C. He just likes to flame and swear at people and
ANC is one of his favourite targets. You will be ostracized if you
put in with Dan C.

As far as we know, ANC has used different linuxes (linii?) and he
still has slackware on one of his machines. He has used many
different distros and he knows whereof he speaks.

LOL! Should have figured that the other resident troll (besides ANC)
would show up and run his mouth. Ignore "rm" the moron, too.

The troll "rm" is the only one here with a shit fetish. He and his pal
"ANC" play under the bridge together, packing fudge most of the time.

Do yourself a favor, and ignore both of them. You don't have to take my
word for it either, you'll see soon enough, just by watching them post.

I hadn't realized there was a troll season. Is it because in hot weather,
the trolls spend their time under the bridges, only coming out when it
starts cooling off?

No it hasn't to do with the heat or cold. I really don't know what
controls those trolls. Maybe their brains is more liquid than ours so
they are affected by things like spring tide and so.

"Troll" season seem to come around more around January and February at the
time of snow storms and real cold arctic weather. That is when more real
people would be staying inside and might check this newsgroup after having
gotten tired of watching movies or performing other fun activities.

Linux users (I am one), believe it or not, are in a minority and somehow
have some cult like characteristics. Slackware users (I am one) are much
more hard core Linux users and exhibit much more radical cult like
characteristics.

It is a Operating system for god's sake. Albeit It is much much better than
other OSes but There are other important things in life. Real People use
their computer for getting their work done. a good number of regulars in
this newsgroup are here to annoy to death anyone who dares to disagree with
them.

well for me it is over 100 degrees hot stormy outside and I am staying cool
inside tonite and end up here in on this ng.

Trolls are dishonest cowards who hide their true posting
histories by using multiple psuedo-identities and/or the
"X-No-Archive: yes" header (most common tactics).

I am not surprised at all to see that this thread is populated
almost exclusively by trolls.

(Fewer than there seems to be, of course...)

I haven't read it. Fumigating my newsreader is a real pain.

Note: I will not be downloading any articles on this thread.

That's a header added by leafnode (a local, caching newsserver),
beloved by trolls because it makes it easy to have accounts on
many different NSPs. There is no such domain:

$ host glynthebearded.millingtons.org
glynthebearded.millingtons.org does not exist, try again

And he expects us to believe that he only posted 144 times

Haven't seen this sockpuppet around in a while.

This troll never gives up: Just keeps banging his head against
the steel plating on my shields.

Fine by me. He's been kissing my butt for years, and he can
do it for the rest of his life if he wants.

Keeps it nice and clean.

That "kook" website he put up has never harmed me (I've never
even looked at it -- I don't read trolldung). All the psuedo-spam
he sends to me is silently dumped by my mailfilter, and he can't
get an article in my newsreader with a score of sockpuppets.

And almost no one reads anything he posts under any of those
aliases but dipschitt trolls.

Not exactly a threat.

He'll be over on news.software.readers soon enough.

Dipschitt trolls are _so_ predictable.

That's why I effortlessly stomp their fat butts on a regular
basis.

Another method of hiding the posting history of an alias: Have
a post removed from the Archives in a short while by adding the
above header.

Which he didn't have in his last post on this thread.

Nothing says "troll" like XNA.

That alias _looks_ unique, but google basically ignores
the tilde, and this fellow certainly knows that.

Choosing common names for aliases is a common troll trick.
That way, their posting history (under that alias) is lost
among those of all the other trolls and clueless newbies
that have used it.

(no, the email address doesn't count, because

With a dynamic IP, which this fellow has (check his posts),
all he has to do to create a new sockpuppet is change the
From header, and some garbage to the headers, use an X-Face,
a different sig.....

Plus, he certainly has accounts on other ISPs/NSPs.

He's a troll, and he gets to wear a gag when he is in my
newsreader. No matter what alias he is cowering behind at
the moment.

Don't need to. Trolls have threat ratings below zero.

Although you'd never know it by listening to them run their big
mouths.

I came to Slackware from Red Hat. Slackware has never ever failed to
load on any of the PCs I have around here, and I have some very old (as
in 386/486) one ... yes I even have it on a 386, no gui of course I
think it is version 3. redhat, fedora, susi mandrake, all of those have
failed to load at one time or another. ... so much for your fancy
loader. I've also had problems trying to install programs in redhat and
a few other rpm based distros, but I have had much better luck with
compiling from source on the PC that needs the program. Slackware
(10.2) also runs much faster out of the box on my 64bit machine than
fedora64 after it has been tweeked. Its also much more stable and
because it doesn't have all the fancy stuff it is easier to figure out.

Years back, his sig was longer than 4 lines. Someone mentioned to him
that this violated basic Usenet netiquette. He was a bit offended, and
then later became a signature junkie getting on everyone who was doing
the same as he was.

I started with Red Hat because of the RPM thing. I stopped using Red Hat
because of their RPM system....

Also, I found that I generally just downloaded the source, compiled, and
installed. You probably remember, back then, the makefiles where not always
so straight forward as now days (./configure, make, make install). Still,
it was easier.

After installing Slackware, the first thing I noticed was how much more
readable /etc and all the init scripts were - this was before I even knew
the difference between Sys V and BSD style startup scripts. I still like
to screw around with other distros - but that is just for the learning
experience.

Alan Conner always seems to bring out the best mod quotes in this
newsgroup. He and ANC really give the rest of us Alans a bad name. :^)

Could you please bury this pgp stuff in your headers? Nobody wants
to see it and there is no acceptable reason for you to keep
polluting your messages with it.

Have a bit of consideration for the other posters.
