Re: [PLUG] "Distro" advocates

I would have to say that you may still be happy with Slackware. I have
been running it for a couple of years now, and have become
addicted. :) I had someone convince me to give Debian a whirl, but I
eventually switched back. It's solid, uncluttered, and just "makes
sense". Slack 7 has been pretty nice.
