Is that so? We just witnessed the death of Slackware here? We've 
heard that a lot, and yet it has never come to pass.

I would have let this pass but for the "hint hint". Kind words from 
me for Alan are as rare as snow in Lizella Jawjuh, but I have to 
point out that he has done quite a bit for new users as the main 
editor of the revised Slackbook.

I'd also suggest that real contributions rate far higher than moral 
posturing about the alleged mistreatment of new users.
