Maybe Patrick will finally do it soon.               RF> Word is that Slackware -current is going to hit Release Candidate        RF> soon (based on a bunch of packages that have been included        RF> recently, including some modern KDE stuff).

Hope we're right.               RF> I am keeping Slackware on every machine that does not need        RF> upgrading, and migrating everything else to OpenBSD.

Gentoo is just too time consuming to set up.              I didn't use to like Debian but it has grown on me over the years. If        not for the pesky systemd I'd probably already be there. Straight        Arch Linux is pretty good too, but takes some effort to get done,        kinda like Gentoo does. Has GREAT documentation though, and an        excellent package management system. I dabbled with FreeBSD years ago        but found it too different than what I was used to, and lacked the        motivation to learn about it. Will probably give it another try at        some point. Haven't ever tried the other BSD's (Open/Net).                            ...
