Decided to try and login to the forums to see what else was being posted and I could answer to. Hmm… Interesting… My account has been removed! Surprised? I THINK NOT! :)

Little conversation he had with me, or so he thought, as I was idle` on irc.

16:52 arny`: Hi there
17:25 Dominian: what
17:37 arny`: why are you still misinforming people ?
17:38 arny`: when i started BW64, slamd64 was far away from the slackware line, using programs that are not included
in slackware
17:38 arny`: i will appreciate if you let the community decide what is the best port
17:47 arny`: and when you post somethig, make sure that you have proof
17:48 arny`: Thank you for your time.

I can’t take it anymore…

Ok, I’m finally fed up with this crap with Bluewhite64. I’ve followed the forums there for quite sometime and the “author” is still coming out like he’s the man who ported slackware. Well, I made a post and I’m curious what will happen now. Here’s the post link: Click Here
Just in case he decides to delete the post; here is the original text:

Ok, I can’t take this anymore. I’m going to post here this one time and one time only. Those of you who think that bluewhite64 is the end-all-be-all of slackware ports to 64bit.. you are sadly mistaken. Bluewhite64 was actually spawned out of Slamd64 (http://www.slamd64.com). Everything I’ve seen on these forums that are “bugs” or “features” you want.. are fixed or included in slamd64. Arny will more than likely blow this post away and delete my account.. which is fine. But understand this, Fred Emmott ported slackware to amd64 BEFORE bluewhite64 was even thought of. Arny then used slamd64 as his ‘base’ and outright lied to tuxmachines.org about how he got everything going in less than 3 months. So, you go on and continue what you will, but this crap has got to stop and the real kudos need to go to Fred Emmott for his hard work of actually porting an entire 32bit Slackware distribution to run on x86_64 architecture.
