REALLY? You should post on alt.os.linux.slackware! They're una(slack)ware!
A friend of mine has a Slack server and doesn't complain. He doesn't run
EBay, though... Do you?

Though it must be said that they don't have to rely on patches. If anything
goes wrong with KDE 2.1, for instance, they can refer to people from KDE.

I think I understand the problem you had. But, first put kids on a Slack
