Rant

[Rick Rosinski]

Over time, I have noticed (as did everybody else, no doubt) that when 
checking for compatibility / requirements for most of the software out there 
(Notably, StarOffice), they support RedHat, SuSE, Debian, Mandrake, and even 
YellowDog, and of course, Solaris.  But they do not support Slackware, even 
though they provide a tarball binary (so it isn't because of any package 
management).  This really irritates me, and I worry about future releases of 
my programs will no longer work on a Slackware system.  I don't want to have 
to change to one of the above distributions just because of some major 
oversight of one of the first - and ongoing - distributions of Linux.

Any comments, rants, verifications, discredits, etc.?
