		In reply to a recent mailing list post, asking why the packages for the latest GNOME - version 2.8 - was still not available for Slackware, Volkerding wrote that since GNOME 1.4 he had felt that it (GNOME) was going in a direction that did not fit well with Slackware's goals.
		Volkerding continued: "KDE, on the other hand, tends to build using the existing build scripts with no changes at all.
		It is no surprise to me that Patrick is thinking about passing the torch to Dropline, who have done a sterling job providing high-quality, up-to-date releases of GNOME for Slackware.

		Patrick should be ready for a very long recovery time with some nasty side effects along the way.
		Even if Patrick is not religious, knowing that many people are keeping him in their thoughts may produce a similar effect.

		It's really good to see Patrick is back on top of things, not just for Slackware but for himself.
		As for Patrick, I am very happy that he is getting his health back, and I wish him the best with Slackware in whatever direction he takes it.
		Even without Gnome, it is still the most versatile and powerful distro in my opinion, and I am sure it will serve its non-Gnome users very well as always.

	The Linux distribution that's always in the black - theage.com.au
		Many of today's new Linux users wouldn't have a clue as to who Patrick Volkerding is. For the brigade whose main arguments are over the merits of this GUI and that, the word Slackware wouldn't ring a bell either.
		In early 1993, he started the distribution called Slackware which was basically an attempt to address many of the problems people faced with SoftLanding System Linux, the first and only commercial Linux at the time.
		While most other commercial Linux distributions have problems balancing the books, Volkerding hasn't had to worry since he decided in 1994 that the only way to keep the project going was to find some way to fund it.

		Honestly, Slackware is Pat Volkerding, and he has to follow his philosophies, not what the community and it's infinite fragments believe Slackware's philosophy to be.
		This is the problem: it is a one man distribution basically, not a community project like Debian or Gentoo.
		Yes, I think Patrick is not human but nobody is perfect and the best in linux is community sense.
