PS and OT: My friend, isn't it time enough that you manage your Linux

person, however you call they?
May I ask how you can make a statement about the life situation of
another person?
Unless you are thinking that every Linux user is like yourself of course.
The co-working space where my Toronto office is based has a technician
who we all rely on to manage the many different tools individuals use
on a daily basis...so we can get on with the business of doing our jobs.
Likewise I personally rely on the professional expertise of those who
manage shellworld, so I can get on with what I am expert in, critical
when someone seems to do what you are suggesting, project their
personal understanding of Linux onto this service. Someone has
damaged a critical program that we are all forced to deal with at the
time.
We have engaged in this discussion before.
One reason speaking personally why I feel Linux enjoys less of the
commercial market is because, to really make it work, you must be a
programmer. Especially given all the layers of the distributions, and
the many distributions involved.
If chime has managed to find someone interested enough to write scripts
for him, and incorporate Linux elements for him, who are you to judge?
His life, his machine, and his resources.

Chime, I am sorry if you took my statement as a judgment and apologize.
I wrote it because from our previous email exchanges I am under the
impression
that you have enough skills to do things that your linux person does for you
and remembering the old saying: if you give someone a fish you feed them
for a
day, but if you teach them to fish, you feed them forever". I am not a
programmer myself, and do ask for help when needed.
But that's just my way and anyway I realize that I should not have
posted in a
public mailing list so, again, I apologize.
Karen, about Linux: I personally prefer FreeBSD (having installed GhostBSD,
which is easier), but will continue to base Slint on Slackware if I can as
Linux has a wider hardware support. But I agree there are too many Linux
distributions, desktops, packages formats etc.
PS I wouldn't have added to this dispersion of efforts creating Slint,
would my
proposal to help internationalize Slackware and make it more accessible had
been accepted.
Cheers,
Didier
