       @tallship not Slackware since they switched to RPM. first corporate sellouts to Novell long before Red Hat sold itself to IBM

       @tallship Oh man, this brought me way back. Two of my colleagues in the beginning of 2000s recommended me #Slackware as the best distribution to kick-start my #Linux journey. Initially I was sure they were trolling me as it took me good 3 months to get to the point I was able to launch X, but I’ll remain forever grateful as I learned so much because of it… To this day my muscle memory defaults to checking out man pages instead of Googling things 🤷🏻‍♂️😄
