Hey Alan!

Way beyond what I require which I am positive is not a good thing.  At the moment I am sticking with 257.8 untill I find myself bored enough to get adventerous again.  I seem to go through soul searching everytime glibc releases a new branch.  I think I am getting too old for this.

I like when that happens.  I am jealous.  ;-)

> The issue is that gnome and kde are designed to work with systemd.

Very MS-ish if you ask me.  So far I've been successfully avoiding that issue ... up to now that is.  I'll see but offhand I am starting to think I might be able to avoid systemd via a busybox initrd and it's mdev function.  There might be some fun there.

You got that right.  If I hadn't been doing this since the beginning I am sure it would be overwhelming.

Last time I checked slackware still had the best console bar none and it was sysv/eudev based.

Life is good,
Maurice
