Hello all,

Just wondering how many other Slackware users are out there! I've been
using it for 20+ years now, and of course have tried many others, but... always come back. I have a couple of "test" boxes that I play with other distros on, but all my main/daily stuff is running under Slackware64 15.0.

Who else out there is a Slacker?! ;-)

Slackware 15.0 x86_64 here also; been using Slackware since 10.0 or so. These days I play with other distros in VMs, and I do have a Devuan Daedalus machine running for testing MBSE under Debian-style distros.

Excellent. I need to take a look at that Devuan myself. I find Debian
(and offshoots) interesting, especially one that doesn't use systemd...

This is precisely the reason I went with Devuan for my Debian-style test machine.

You can remove systemd from any debian based system quite easily and install any manager you like. I usually do.

... A social life? Where can I download that!?

Devuan is pretty cool. I used it a couple of times.
