 DC> Hehe, nice, unless...... it means you don't get the job. LOL

I mean, it does mean that I will actively turn down jobs in situations like
that. But in my case, I can afford to be picky and specific. I get 5~10 offers
for work every week. More during the prime times of January and July, where
lots of companies do their biggest hiring hunts.

Yepperding. All bow to Patrick Volkerding, supre.... Nope. Not me! LOL. But
yes, it is one of the oldest. But then again, So is Debian, Red Hat Linux, and
openSUSE still, runners up from Slackware at least. openSUSE was originally
based on SLS and then rebased off Slackware.

 DC> Indeed. The essence of Linux, right there.

All bow down to Linus Torvalds for a great kernel! That I can do! :)
