It would have been friendlier to have responded with a pointer to a Slackware
list or newsgroup, true. The bottom line here is that this is a Red Hat list,
and any extensive discussion of Slackware/Debian/Caldera/SuSE/etc...etc...etc
is a violation of the purpose of the mailing list.
This is a high traffic list which already has a surplus of chatter on it. We
need to keep it to it's intended purpose.
Additionally, Ezekiel's originally message was not the sort to encourage
courtesy in a somewhat partisan arena, this mailing list. He basically stated
that 5.0 was crap and he'd given up on it. Therefore he wanted help to
install Slackware. Not exactly a polite request for help.
Cheers
