I've tried Arch several times and quite liked it once it was up and running. I just couldn't take the system breakage. You really need to upgrade often in order minimize system turmoil. Also, I experienced too many packages that were corrupt on the mirrors and would not install. I think its a great ...

that would make a great album cover

Good to see Slack up there!

Vim with the elflord colorscheme

I've also recently switched to Debian Etch at work and it is really nice. I've tried Debian several times before, but never really stuck with it (always ran back to Slackware.) As far as slimming down KDE, I've always tried to turn off as much of the animation things as possible (like when moving wi...

KDE mostly. Fluxbox when I feel like geeking out.

Thank you!

I'd also like to hear his comments on other distros out there: What they do well, what they don't too that well, etc. Does he mess around with any other distros to get a feel for what other people are doing?, etc...

I think this one tops them all......

Wow!!! Great news. This will be an epic show. I may have to come home from work early (west coast) to jump on the irc for that one... My questions would be more off Slack: What do you do when you're not working on Slack? What is your take on some of the popular distros of the day? What kind of beer ...
