For the uninitiated, that's
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...-YOUR-HELP.txt

While I can't help, I can still send Pat my best wishes for a speedy
recovery.

Luck (and good health) be with him.

In the interests of this newsgroup and the plethoria of trolls that are
about to come in with some Netcraft study proving Slackware is dying,
let me say the following.

Things like this happen all the time, and if you read the full message
it looks as if there's good hope. Pat just needs to find the right help
for something that is a rare medical condition. I'm sure we'll all pull
together and find the help he needs, and come up with the dough if
that's what it takes.

I'd like to send Pat my best wishes, and hope he'll recover and feel
better soon.

It just appeared on Slashdot:

http://science.slashdot.org/article....id=134&tid=106

Along with this, I would also like to extend my best wished to Pat.
You're a great asset to our community, and I hope you'll be up and
slacking again soon

This is kind of spooky in light of recent threads about "what if.."

But I almost posted last week that if anything happened to Patrick, it
would be far more significant that something happened to Patrick than
that it might impact on Slackware. That's the balance of having a (near)
one man operation; the operation may fail, but there is an
individual who has some identity and a sense of familiarity. Nobody
wonders what happens if a head of a big corporation should die becaues
in part that person is just a nameless head of the corporation. Any
big corporation, and we wouldn't be getting such a personal message about
his health.

Let's not forget at this time that Patrick is a big fan of the Grateful
Dead (and one might argue Country Joe and the Fish, since that message
clearly makes an oblique reference to them).

I wish Patrick the best for this trying time, and hope that he will soon be
back at his best as soon as this disease is taken care of.
