    I like to have a slack-based disto, because those just seem to be great for getting things done. Not sure I can explain it somehow with Slack/Slax/Kiara/Vector, I am about 33 per cent less likely to be dicking around at any one time.

    One the other hand, Debian-based distros have the ALL THAT SOFTWARE, and the easy packaging system. I'm about 50 per cent less likely to be compiling or searching for packages online with Debain based distros, including Stable Debian, *buntu, and Sidux.

    I keep all my data on two external 500 GB harddrives. It all fits on one, so the other is backup. So distro hopping really isn't an issue. I have three IDE hard drives that I can snap into my machine like an 8 track, and sometimes I use live CDs.

    HAHAHA! The Sabyon live CD that I tried, instead of booting played the worst heavy metal song I have ever heard in my life.

    Do you know the difference between Sabyon and Sabien? One is a masturbation machine for ladies, and the other is a sex toy.

    See you guys in a while, after my ban expires.
