Post #2355801

@nik@toot.teckids.org SuSE is driving towards slop addiction anyway. Better for kids to experiment with Gentoo or NetBSD, or maybe projects that maintain a good track record without having a strong no-slop policy like FreeBSD, Slackware, OpenBSD, Debian, etc. (Although if they get into Slackware, keep them away from IRC, or at least Libera. ##slackware on Libera.chat today is like #freebsd on Freenode was a decade ago, in some respects, and maybe worse in others.) Having been a young hacker in the early 80s, I can lend you some comfort. People can and will become lifelong free software advocates and contributors without a community, and this includes community driven by a corporate project. Also, look at it this way: If OpenSuSE wants to drive themselves to extinction, what better way than erasing their mindshare amongst the young? All that aside, I'm not at all against people telling them how foolish this move is.
