It is a phenomenal interview. A rare chance to hear it from the
horse's mouth. He discusses a variety of topics including:
* Kernel 2.4 v. 2.6
* Inclusion of Udev
* Exclusion of Gnome
* Third party repos
* The Slackware philosophy
* Building Banjos!!!

It was an excellent interview. Good to get some insight from Pat as to why
kernel 2.4 and why he does things in Slackware that he does. Kudos to the
Slackware team for a great distribution. Using Slackware 11 and loving it!
