That&#x27;s why I freakin&#x27; love Slackware. The ability to repair stuff by hand, or even to get libc6 binaries running on a libc5 system (by putting the appropriate .sos in &#x2F;lib), was a godsend during my early Linuxing, and completely unthinkable under Windows. It&#x27;s very nearly unthinkable under Ubuntu or Fedora, but Slackware just keeps chugging the best it can no matter what shape you bash it into.
