In an attempted spin to turn my own wits against me the developer of Bluewhite64 has tried to turn my article against me. The funny thing is that if I were you, I would’ve admitted my wrong doing by now and moved on. However, you still want to banter on about how it is possible to port an entire distro in 4 weeks, when in the tuxmachines.org article you told the author it was 3 months.

Well, Dominian cannot handle the truth that Bluewhite64 is better than Slamd64 and instead of doing something useful, like helping Fred to maintain, develop and release Slamd64 at the same time like Slackware, he prefer to spread FUD. Anyway, I’m not interested in his opinions. I prefer to work and keep the Slackware line and offer the same user experience on a 64-bit environment.

I already noticed in the original review how I have created Bluewhite64, just read the comments. Also, I already thanked Fred for patches and scripts that I used. So, saying the same things twice is pointless.

Dominian, have you ever tried to port Slackware? Did you know that is possible to do it from scratch in 4 weeks if you work at least ~14 -15 hours/day including Sundays? Well, I have spend these hours when I started the work. Anyway I prefer to work instead of reading “hilarious” blogs.

Lets take this in stride. Most of those who read my blog and talk to me in person on a day-to-day basis know I’m not one to hold back on admitting my faults nor mistakes, but you seem adamant to attempt to tarnish me. Hehe, good luck. Lets take your comments and see what we get out of them…

Better? Your ego precedes you. The maintainer of Slamd64 has never once come out and said that he was “better” than anyone else nor made himself some kind of deity when it came to developing a distribution. He is a user who happens to compile a distro. He’s one of us. THAT, in my mind, is what makes Slamd64 better.

Fred like Pat is a one-man team. He has his dedicated user base to do the testing, bug reporting, and occasionally, we will submit fixes or patches that we have either found or written ourselves. Other than that, its Fred’s final say. Period.

What does the review have anything to do with your dishonest way of claiming the work of another user as your own? I mean, if I took nearly a year to invent something and someone came along and took the same idea and the same work I had already done and then released their own “invention” I’d be a bit pissed. Not only would I want credit, but I would also want you to admit in public what you had done. Which at this point, I don’t think will ever happen. There are MORE than just the patches and scripts that you used. I remember the “knowledge” you had about trying to compile even a damn kernel and you were in an irc channel basically saying, this doesn’t work; how do I fix it? So spare me the BS of how you have done this all on your own with only using a few scripts and patches provided by Fred.

Yes, I have tried to port Slackware about the same time that Fred started and when I found out he was doing it, I stopped. I’m not a programmer; I’m an administrator, but I know enough that I can make patches/scripts to help out from time to time. I stopped because it was pointless. Here was Fred an accomplished programmer and student striving his way towards a technology degree. The project of taking on porting a distribution to an entirely new architecture is an amazing project for him both in learning more about his chosen field and in a test of will power on those late ass nights I remember him having. You on the other hand, “oh I’ll install this.. then just remove /usr/lib64 and recompile it and release it as another distribution.” Wow.. that’s.. hard.. work.

And yes, my blog is hilarious.
