I don't think there's a tiling wm that puts mouse first. I think years ago there was some work on KDE to add some tiling behaviour, but I don't know if it was merged and buried in settings somewhere, or it was a plugin, or a

So? Large majority code running in any distro was developed by third parties. This means nothing. It's a part of Slackware. It was announced in Tue Sep 16 11:20:30 PDT 2003 that it's a part of 'extra' repository. So, not

Because you weren't supposed to see it there. Because it was never announced. Because it was never planned to be in there. It might happen in the future, but as of now Slackware (and Gentoo) are those distros that don't have syste

I used Arch for 8 months sometime in 2010. And I switched my main computer to Arch just yesterday, just to give it a shot, to see a different approach, to use a systemd-based system, to re-learn some stuff, etc etc. Basically to experiment.

Alpha Centauri is the only game of the whole genre I could get into. The SF setting, the faction leaders and their personalities, voiceovers, music, atmosphere... That game is basically my reason for installing wine and playonlinux.

slackpkg doesn't do dependencies. slapt-get ( http://software.jaos.org/ ) does, but it needs repo that has dependency metadata. Official repos don't have it. If a repository doesn't have dependency metadata the

Yeah, but the point of the talk is the opposite. It's more of a motivational talk than a tech talk. It was pretty good, the runtime (<15 min) and his attitude helped. He was OK with not really being sure of himself or what he's
