At the moment I am living in Stauceni, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova (a small country between Romania and Ukraine) so Yes, I am a Slacker from Europe, too.

P.S. Darth Vader Salutare frate

I have to say that it seems that when ever I try to solve Linux problems or coding problems, a great deal of the time I get my answers from guys in European counties. Obviously this is anecdotal and not statistical. But what is it about you Europeans, do they just start you out coding at a young age or are your schools that much better than ours over here lol?

Interesting observation by Dugan.

Let me bring some exoticism. I am from a small island 60km x 30km in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

I think maybe if most Slackers are in Europe, it is not a coincidence. It might also be true that most open-source users are found in Europe. I think it depends a lot on education and the countries' own approach to open-source systems. If introduced to Linux distros at a young enough age, a person will move through the Linux tree and, probably eventually ending up trying Slackware.

I always knew it was true: he was a real UNDEAD! (died in 1476 while the first Ottoman siege of Vienna is in 1529) .

I'm not sure at all. On french-speaking forums, my impression is I see always the same band of Slackers. More probably most of the most active french-speaking Slackers are as well if not more active on LQ.

And kikinovac was forgotten (an Austrian living in France, which makes him a kinda Romy S(cheind|lack)er )

This is way off-topic, but it always amused me how every single nation on Balkans comes up with these claims that it was actually them that stopped Ottoman invasion to Europe, and their conquest of Wien.

Yeah, I know about Vlad. It's Bram Stoker's fault that he's got associated with the vampire myth.

I did think of kikinovac and have a lot of respective for him but he left Slackware for CentOS, so I am not sure he is still a Slacker.

I assume that most if not all are Slackers.

I will also mention Aiyumi Moriya. She is Brazilian, of Japanese descent, blind and got me started to make Slint speak on the desktop. Nobody's perfect

And quite a few of us were born overseas (Italy, in my case)

I believe he is the youngest Son of the Dragon who lives today in direct line, and I wish him one day to get himself the reputation of the Son of a Dragon (as a very strong man)

I think your assumption is well founded.

Just curious. How does ppr:kut keep flying under the radar?

PS - My grateful thanks to Heinz for all that you do for Slackware!
