   Heh. I've actually turned down working for companies, because I always ask one   
   question during an interview. "Will I ever be required to run, operate,   
   configure, manage, or even so much as touch a Windows Desktop, or Windows   
   Server" And "Can I get an actual Linux oriented Workstation?" And I don't mean   
   a PC with Linux on it, I mean an actual workstation. :)   
      
   Slackware never really left me with good feelings. I don't like the   
   minimalistic approach to it, especially the, still lacking, support for   
   Linux-PAM. And the literal dictatorialship of Patrick Volkerding over Slackware   
   is not too intriguing to me either. I respect the distro, being one of the   
   earlier distros out there and still being maintained to this day, but that's   
   about where it ends.. For me anyway.   
      
   But, the good thing about Linux is freedom to choose whatever you want to use,   
   and appreciate it for what it is, and does for you what you want of it. :)
