Just my opnion, only that:

When used linux slackware, it was very beautifull to boot in 1280x1024
on console and have a nice bitmamp linux logo printed on the left
upper side of the screen.

The utility of such? In fact it is useless from a funcionality
perspective. But it was very charmy. I would love to show every body
around here what my box runs.

Just my two cents
