   Debconf23 talk mentioning Slackware in p

   Hi,   
      
   For anyone who likes to check out any mention of Slackware in the wider   
   world here is one:   
      
   https://debconf23.debconf.org/talks/15-why-debian/   
      
   Now, to prepare you, he's very much a hardcore Debian user and developer   
   who used Slackware as his first distro but moved quite early to Debian   
   from not liking his upgrading experience. If it's any consolation he   
   seemed to like Redhat less well than either.   
      
   But it's a nice talk nonetheless, I thought, in that he shares his   
   personal experiences in school in the 90s and onwards and how his   
   preferences formed. I related to a lot of it except I kind of went the   
   opposite way, starting with Debian but now for the most part preferring   
   Slackware between those two, for the usual reasons.
