You completely missed what i was pointing out didnt you.. yep.. you did. My remark was in relation to the claims of Slackware being "as pure as linux can get" which is simply a false, misleading statement since its far from as pure as linux can get. Why you feel the need to try and discredit my remark with something which is nowhere related at all to what i pointed out is beyond me but may make sense to you in some mysterious ways. - -- Yours Sincerely Thomas Juberg Stens�s - -- What we do in life echoes in eternity -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+cZPEm5JSuDogRncRAot4AJ9H6kAQGa/lXs6UVOayn7MjnorWQgCdF1TO cCTVcbUG8o6zYlS620FrhgQ= =5x9k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
