Interview with Patrick Volkerding of Slackware
Finally got some time to read this interview. #Slackware is still my favourite Linux distribution.
Patrick Volkerding, the founder of Slackware Linux, agreed to an interview with LQ. Here is what he had to say. Some question were contributed by members. Those questions have the member's name in parenthesis after them. Thanks Pat!
Too bad no #KDE SC 4.9.1 tonight for my desktop. rsync is just telling me after 1 1/2 hour to-check=332/601. Something is way too slow tonight.
