#overbitenx and #onyx work well on #firefox on #slackware after a bit of fiddling for reading #gopher directly (without proxy).
So do #lynx , #mosaic-ck (!) and, of course the old pre-quantum firefoxes (with the respective overbite ext).
As does #dillo !! - but had to add some extension (dpi) to that - dillo fans know all about it.
Et je n'en suis pas peu fier

Ça commence à être un peu vintage... Mais je ne me consolerai jamais d'avoir jeté le kit d'installation de ma Slackware de 1995, mon premier Linux !

I feel like a wizard, having finally installed Slackware, which took all weekend long and still isn't configured the way I want yet. But I'm seriously wondering why I went to all that trouble except for the challenge and maybe bragging rights.
Okay, I get that. But I never noticed systemd anyway except for the huge systemd logs it generates, but there's a way to purge them and to limit their size so it never becomes a big deal. Is that enough to justify all that work and still not be happy with the results?
Who does that? Probably no one else. Ancient computer? Slackware still works!
Yes, for sure. But so is #Debian, which is much easier to install and configure. For that matter the #Ubuntu LTSes are pretty stable, right? Is it worth all the trouble?
Indisputably true. IF you want to learn #Linux. But what if I just want to do my school work and surf on the net, check my forums and Diaspora feed and stuff? An ordinary #computer user doesn't concern himself with how everything works, only with how to maintain it, keeping it updated and free of accumulating junk.
If Patrick Volkerding gets in a car crash or has a heart attack, it's all over, isn't it? I'm sure there are lots of people capable of keeping it going, and Mr. Volkerding probably has a plan in place for that. But still, one man. And he's been at it for decades already.
It just seems like doing it the hard way when other distros make it effortless is the bottom line for me. I mean, I feel great that I was able to get it running and all that, but I don't think it's going to be "my daily driver" as they say. So much work! And the command line is not a little scary, because it's incredibly powerful and mistakes in "the terminal" can make a mess of things.
So, just honest questions from a kid who really doesn't want to "learn Linux" by doing things the hard way with unnecessary investment of time , study, and work. Am I being unfair?
With thanks to some great people here on Diaspora who encouraged me and pointed me in the right direction to get Slackware installed and running. I mean no disrespect or ingratitude by my questions, and I look forward to your replies.
