in reply to Development environment

I have found that one Linux distribution still has some sanity, maintaining the original linux concepts and ideals.... it's called Slackware. |||||||||| <- multi-layered blast proof doors :-)

    No fault with chosing slackware...
    BUT, the ++ is for the blast doors!

    Come, let us reason together: Spirit of the Monastery

    If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!

    As someone who cut their teeth on Slackware, ++.

    Of course, I use Ubunty LTS for production now...

      Yeah, me too. I got Slackware 1.0, way back when. It came with an "experimental" X server, which you had to labourously manually configure, but it did have a solid PPP connection and text mode consoles. :-)

      As I recall, it was still the era of Windows 3.0, and even by then, I knew there had to be something better. :-)
