    I look forward to retiring, so i can distro-hop again:
    I want to try Slackware again and maybe delve, again, into LFS-BLFS.

    Can't wait for the fun and intellectual stimulus starts again in that field!

    I look back fondly on the Mandrake (7.2 from the picture i saw on-line... can't remember)/Redhat 5.0 days.

    Delving into XF86config (?sp?), recompiling kernels.... happy times.

    Unfortunately, LFS has now become systemd-infected.

    One of the post-retirement tech projects I have in the back of my head is studying systemd and trying to fork something that is properly decoupled from itself. Because your desktop environment should not be in any way dependent on your init system.

      Yep... that is like tying the browser into the kernel... ;)
      That only works when you want to f*ck with regulators and don't care about your customers.
