No, Slackware. All the convenience of Red Hat, all the build-it-yourself dependency hell of Gentoo.

Well, the truth hurts, but we Slackware users can take it.

Linux Mint (Bianca and Celena being the last two versions) might be a good starting point for at least one of them.

Slackware could be the base for the other. Ideally the benevolent dictator would be named Pat, of course.

She's too busy helping Patrick out with Slackware. Check out the changelog from 12.0 for the details.

I guess I'll have to tell my wife I'm not a real geek. I'm not sure quite how to break the news to her.

At the Ohio Linux Fest was a t-shirt:

"I (heart) my geek."
