You'are right. I wasn't thinking. I also didn't think I said anything hostile,
but an agreement is an agreement so I apologize for the mention.

You know how they say that war and politics make for strange bed-fellows?
Looks like the Netcop is after us both. We may have more in common than we
thought!

Distributions don't run. They don't have a speed. The software in
the distributions have speed. The kernel and user apps have speed
and slackware uses the standard kernel and standard apps. Needless
to say, the standard kernel and the standards apps all run at the
standard speed.

Anybody who thinks a distribution has a measurable speed does not
know what a distribution is. To state that slackware is faster
than Red Hat, for example, is simply misusing language.

Mr Realto Margarino

Your splitting hairs. A distro is made of many parts and depending on
how those parts are put together determines the apparent speed that
one experiences. But apps my dear beloved troll don't have speed
either. They are simply a compilation of bits and bytes executed by
the processor. Which is a part of a computer as most people call it.
The computer is where you get the speed. How well a distro, or app,
or program, or what ever you prefer to call it Mr. Realto Margarino,
is put together will determine the apparent speed of an app, OS,
palm,phone, or trollizer.

I really like you Realto Margarino.
Enemy Mine.
