   Way beyond what I require which I am positive is not a good thing.  At the   
   moment I am sticking with 257.8 untill I find myself bored enough to get   
   adventerous again.  I seem to go through soul searching everytime glibc   
   releases a new branch.  I think I am getting too old for this.

   I like when that happens.  I am jealous.  ;-)   
      
   > The issue is that gnome and kde are designed to work with systemd.   
      
   Very MS-ish if you ask me.  So far I've been successfully avoiding that issue   
   ... up to now that is.  I'll see but offhand I am starting to think I might be   
   able to avoid systemd via a busybox initrd and it's mdev function.  There   
   might be some fun there.   
      
   > it is getting harder and harder to do.   
      
   You got that right.  If I hadn't been doing this since the beginning I am sure   
   it would be overwhelming.

   Last time I checked slackware still had the best console bar none and it was   
   sysv/eudev based.   
      
   Life is good,
