Need to fix capitalization and use doubel hyphen (closest match to
em-dash in ASCII):

"Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
"Kanotix" -- a German word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
"Mandriva" -- a French word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
"Fedora" -- an American word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

be stalled. Helpful, me.

Hell, when I was a kid we had to chew our own ferromagnetic memory arrays

I found the study of the installation and configuration of
Slackware 10.2 to be most beneficial in my rehabilitation
from having had a stroke

Previous experience existed of Knoppix live CD
booted to RAM.

Makes for a nifty Multimedea center with my
1999 Gateway Performance 450 Pentium III.
