Attention Benny Pedersen,   
      
    BP> impressed you still not using gentoo :)   
      
   Both the silvermont (this box) and the bonnell are still using the so-called   
   bastardized Slackware-ish/LFS 'distribution' Maurice likes to call medevil.    
   It has been deployed here for around 20 years now and looks to be a survivor.    
   It is still sysvinit based unlike most other Linux distributions these days   
   which many hardcore Linux people, including Maurice, favour over the systemd   
   based ones.  It works like a charm.  However the bonnell hasn't been brought   
   up to date and it might wait until the release of glibc-2.28 or shortly   
   thereafter.  At this moment there are fatal issues with m4, gzip and findutils   
   with respect to the currently frozen glibc-2.27.9000 which is the latest   
   candidate for the soonish glibc-2.28 release.  At the heart of the problem is   
   gnulib which with a bit of tweaking can be fixed by deploying fi   
   dutils-1.9a.685-d69f-dirty and gzip-1.9.4-9ef6-dirty, but no such luck   
   following the exact same strategy with m4-1.4.18.2-10237-dirty or even a more   
   daring m4-1.9a.685-d69f-dirty.  In all cases the same gnulib git source was   
   deployed.
