There are a few others who are older, but I think I'm probably counted among the elders. And let's not forget Gene, who is still chugging away in his 90s. But yeah, I dislike changing just for the sake of change. I like the comfort of using the same old things until they wear out; the same with my machines. Novelty for novelty's sake gets old really fast. > > > I am working on my own build script environment for Slackware. Takes > time though.

But then, I gave up on Slackware years ago, once I found Devuan, so I don't appreciate the problems involved. I do have a couple of repair discs that are based on Slackware (Slacko comes to mind), but like yourself, I am already comfortable with where I am, no need to explore further. > So I guess I keep plugging away, keep asking questions, and keep filing > bug reports and feature requests. Not much else I can do. :) Maybe put out a call especially to Slackware users, here on the TDE mailing list, but also search the Slackware forums (I assume that there are such) to find some other TDE users, or at least some people who might be willing to help. I seem to recall that there were some Slackware users here on the Trinity list, and that there used to be some (probably old) Slackware ISOs with TDE. Maybe they are archived somewhere?
