I know a lot of folks knock Slackware because it's supposedly too difficult 
to maintain when it comes to patches and upgrades, but I must take this 
opportunity to...ahem..testify!

Brothahs and sistahs, if I may have yo eahs fo a moment...ahh. I would like 
open yo eyes to the truth...ahh. You see my brothahs and sistahs...ahh, 
slavin' away a patchin' and apt-gettin' and a deludin' themselves inta 
believin' in some magic red carpet ride...ahh, I have a glimpse of the 
light...ahh. If you would open yo browsahs with me my brothahs and sistahs 
to ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ chaptah 9.0. We see...PRAISE GOD 
WE SEE!!! We see that on the 19th day of March...ahh, in the year of our 
Lord 2003...ahh, slack9 was delivered unto ALL GOD'S CHEERDRIN!!! Now turn 
with me to /patches and RECOGNIZE!!! Recognize that you can be free of your 
burdens! You SHALL be free! For the messenger Patrick does not molest those 
packages he was sent to deliver. He does not paint their faces as that of a 
harlot. He does not harbor those which are not worthy. He is no protector 
of iniquity!!! HE WILL NOT VIOLATE THE COVENANT OF THE PENGUIN!!! 
Whooooooooooooo!!! My Lawd!!! CAN I GET AN AMEN...AHH?!!! I said, CAN I GET 
AN AMEN?!!! Now let's visit the book of security...ahh, turn with me to

will see..ahh, you will SEE!!! You WILL see that they has been a semteen 
security updates in slack9. BEHOLD!!! I speak the truth!!! Deliver yoselves 
from the mouth of the red demon and that evil serpent with the bug-eyes!!! 
Brothahs and sistahs!!! GET SLACK!!!!
