anyway

I'm sorry... I didn't get it, maybe you meant by the way ?

@npro no no, oh nooooo, you've made a big rookie error there! btw is exclusively reserved for ArchLinux Classic users, & protected by legal statute. otoh anyway was carefully hand-crafted for the new ArchLinux SlowRoll crowd.

i expect you're now feeling terribly embarrassed at this error!

npro

@ybjrepnfr you are right... sometimes I forget in what hipster world we are all living, I'll go use the latest openSUSE Slowweed to feel really special ... then after I gain some experience I will try ArchLinux SlowRoll as well
