Article: Three Months with Slackware Linux 9.1
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5307


"Conclusion

By now you probably have noticed that my two Slackware articles I have
ever written (this one and my Sept. review) are pretty "short" for my
standards. This is because there is nothing either glorious or problematic
to report. It just works." [...]

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.

Yeah, that's what jumped out at me, too. Evidently, despite the
reviewer's fondness for Slack, he's still a GUI oriented user and fails
to realize Slack excels at the CLI. OTOH, when you think about it,
his take on Slack is still a ringing endorsement ...a CLI centric
distro that still beats out the GUI distros at their own game. But
then, we already knew that.

I think so, Larry, and um, Brain, but how can we get seven dwarves to

Or you could have told him: "Football Association Of
Malaysia" (from Google.)

or

File Alteration Monitor - An API that notifies applications
when files and directories are changed (also from Google.)

Wonder if he's clever enough to figure out the relevant answer ?

Yes, but why does the chicken cross the road, huh, if not for love?
(sigh) I do not know.

Apart from FAM, that Google knows about[0], the other sentences don't
make any sense to me. It looks like something a sales manager would
come up with (i.e it looks impressive to other managers, but doesn't
mean anything).
