Well, I think us old dyed-in-the-wool UNIX admins all started with
Slack.  I did, but then, there weren't many choices in 1992 and kernel
0.90 IIRC.

Besides, I learned on BSD (Ultrix, SunOS 4).  Then along came SysV (R3
I think, then R4).

Glad to see Slack isn' t yet among the casualties.

So just what _does_ using Slack say about one?

Ciao,
