This is my wife Amy. She was my partner in crime for almost 20 years, and an amazing mom to our babies. We lost her a couple of years ago. We miss her a lot and she's still a big part of our lives.

I too love them both! Especially when relatively recently (like around last xmas) finding that running xfce on #FreeBSD is more responsive than #Slackware on the same hardware. I thought I knew the history of BSD (Btw I was lumping in orig bsd with bsdi) but need to reread!

Indeed. I stand corrected! Thanks for that! 🐧

#FreeBSD is barely older than #Linux, and had a big head start with BSDi. Just sayin...

FreeBSD was a mature OS when Slackware was still trying to count floppy disks.

There are still copies floating around on Amazon and Ebay. The way the pages even felt like the x-tian somewhat. Can also still read it on archive.org

Really? Arch is kind of a "normal" distro? 🤔That's like saying Slackware, as compared to "easier" distros from today is normal... I dunno...

Just leaving this here...

Exactly...

I started on Slackware. Granted it due to Slackware being the first distro on the cd that came with "The Linux Bible: GNU Testament". At that time, there was Debian, Redhat, Suse (which I dubbed "Lizard Linux") and a couple more, but it was quaint, for lack of a better term...

Matthew 25:35–40, Jesus says: "I was a stranger and you invited me in," and that what is done for the least of these, he considers as done for himself.

But sure, 🧊 is God's Avenging Army...

Trump is a symptom of white male fragility being unable to accept the idea of black excellence outshining them. From Barack Obama to Kamala Harris, Trump is the racist response to being unable to accept that more qualified people can come from anywhere and in any/every color. Fuck that fragility 🖕🏾
