Hmmm, how come so many people ask so many questions about Slackware here?
Are they 'paying' for the services of those who reply? And are you talking
about free as in beer or free as in speech?

Bottom line, Usenet IS a place where people come for free help. Deny it if
you want, but I don't think you would get more than a handful of people who
use Usenet each day to agree with you.

At the end of World War Il, General Patton, a Russian General, and their
staffs sat down to dinner. The Russian proposed a toast. Patton replied
that he wouldn't drink with a son of a bitch. The Russian replied that
Patton was a son of a bitch, too. "In that case, I'll drink,'" Patton said,
"from one son of a bitch to another."
