    DC> Hehe, nice, unless...... it means you don't get the job. LOL   
      
   I mean, it does mean that I will actively turn down jobs in situations like   
   that. But in my case, I can afford to be picky and specific. I get 5~10 offers   
   for work every week. More during the prime times of January and July, where   
   lots of companies do their biggest hiring hunts.

   Yepperding. All bow to Patrick Volkerding, supre.... Nope. Not me! LOL. But   
   yes, it is one of the oldest. But then again, So is Debian, Red Hat Linux, and   
   openSUSE still, runners up from Slackware at least. openSUSE was originally   
   based on SLS and then rebased off Slackware.   
      
    DC> Indeed. The essence of Linux, right there.   
      
   All bow down to Linus Torvalds for a great kernel! That I can do! :)
