SO LONG, REDHAT
(Posted 2005-09-17 13:07:52 by Ray Lopez)

Patrick Volkerding has released Slackware [ http://www.slackware.com ]
10.2, and I have decided to take this occasion to formally wipe my disk
clean of Redhat 9 and go back to using Slackware.

Redhat no longer supports their non-enterprise package, and for the past
months I've just been patching and doing all the upkeep to my system
manually.  So I figured if I am doing all of this anyway, I may as well go
back to Slackware, which makes doing things under the hood much easier.

Slackare was my first Linux package.  I don't recall when I first started
using it but I know that by 1995 I was running 100 percent on Slackware, so
I think it was around late '93 or so.  Slackware never gave me one lick of
trouble, so I am glad to be going back.
