I don't think many people use Slackware because they think they are smarter. They just prefer simple but powerful control that others don't require. Most automobile drivers are quite content knowing nothing how that automobile works as long as turning the key starts it up and it has one pedal for Go and another for Stop along with a steering device. That doesn't make them any dumber than me who needs to comprehend the function of every device down to the bolts.

Now, even if I was the Only user of Slackware, that breaks your mold because I don't find that you or I.G.O.R have anything of any value to contribute to the Slackware community since those (we) folks often cite difficulties and problems but with an eye toward keeping Slackware identifiable as a different but cohesive entity as it is while fixing a few minor issues. You guys appear to prefer throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Perhaps most importantly your very statement assuming Slackers look down on you unfairly as "not as smart" is why you and I.G.O.R feel so butthurt as to drive you to drive by shootings. It's non-productive, misinformed and rather childish. So please do that. Throw the baby out (Oh wait... you already did!) Move on. You have no business here but grousing that makes you appear silly.
Besides that you live in imaginary world, you too overestimate youself and other members of the Slackware tribe. Self-confidence is a great thing, but it should correspond the reality a little bit. Doing full install, defending wrong set of base packages and appreciating obsolete/incomplete installer doesn't promise that you all (radical Slackware fanatics) are smart.

There seems to be a *very* small number of members intent on derailing threads and posting off-topic posts in a large number of threads. This is not acceptable at LQ and will not be tolerated moving forward. If there are any questions please contact me directly. Thanks.
