Especially considering that HP uses Debian for their internal development machines and has a Debian support program, I guess HP is just a small-time hobby shop :/

Hm. That's pretty good conciduring that HP has their own private competing Unix version.. HP-UX and True64 unix. Not to mention also OpenVMS.

Then again a nice market outlet for those Intanium proccessors that HP loves so much is HPC linux computers... :)

The debian vs. gentoo fights remind me of the Democrat vs. Republican parties in the U.S. Common, we can all we one great unfied community. :)

Damn straight. Use slackware.

I knew we were going to have som Ralph Nader supporters here :) ;)

You think Nader would use slack? Just another reason to vote for him I guess. :D

teet haxors? :D

I think there should be a study in the different dialects of leet speak. Or maybe how it has changed over the years. The 7=L thing seems to be fairly old school.

I don't think 7 was ever L. 7 has been T as long as I've seen 1337 sp34k. 1 was always L.
