A distribution bytes the dust!

Now that is "loud." I could almost hear that! :-)

For my part, I like Slackware. It seems to be a conservative 
implementation of Linux. A reservation: I cannot put the time in to 
implement GnuCash on it. There seems to be a lot of foundation work 
needed. I have my Slackware running on 166MHz with 128M, so it feels a 
bit slow.

I will get into the Gentoo 'brand' of Linux OS whenever I get a cheap 
laptop with sufficient power. It seems like that will be forever from 
now, but I sense that it will be worth the wait.
