So you admit you use a "distro" -- doesn't that make
you a "distro-lackey", hmmmm?

When I think of the gyrations I used to go through to
use Fedora Core, then Fedora...

I don't know what that's like today, but that was some real
he-man Linux.

You kids don't know how easy you have it now.

I switched to Mint because I got tired of fighting
Red Hat's control of a (supposedly) "community" distribution.
Got too old for the "add repo X to be able to play an mp3", or
"sorry, we won't include ECC in our openssl SRPMS because
we don't understand the legal ramifications".  Had enough of
that.

And also:  who here, besides you, is using Gentoo?
