A solid-state MP3 player.
A fantastic little device whose general style and feature-set has continued well into the 2010s.

The Queen of Swords is a sensuous and beautiful masked avenger who battles greed and corruption in 19th Century California. Her dagger and rapier aimed at the heart of injustice, casting a long and defiant shadow over all those who terrorize the oppressed. She not only gives the vanquished hope, she makes them laugh at those who would destroy them. To do this, she must remain anonymous, hiding behind her public guise as the ‘Queen of Swords’. Adventure is in the cards…

An air force test pilot’s prototype spacecraft falls into a wormhole that takes him across the universe
While I really like this series, it’s a major uncomfortable mindfuck in many places and I don’t know how strongly I could recommend it to others. I would be far more hesitant in recommending it to those not already fans of the science fiction genre at large, whose members are often far more accepting of already-difficult subjects.

Visions of a past life lead a woman to an ancient treasure, but it is also sought by others to both raise the dead and an army.
While it would be unfair to say this movie stinks, it’s not great.
The computer graphics used in it are uncanny and intrusive. It has action for action’s sake, and while a light bubblegum movie is what it is, this movie lays it on intentionally thick, making it aggravating. Fans of its predecessor, The Mummy – (1999 movie), will find the feelings instilled by it are not reproduced in this sequel. It’s also jarringly-unoriginal by stealing components from the first.
This it is an obvious money-grab.

Systemd is reported to be optional, but I don’t have information on that.
My past experiences were dismal enough that I don’t want to bother trying Gentoo again.

The oldest extant distribution, Slackware focuses on a sort of straightforwardness. It’s not “light” or “easy”, it is what it is. It’s not cripplingly-difficult like Gentoo or Arch Linux. Using it is a little taxing on the mind, but doesn’t actually require a whole lot of deep understanding. It’s install was straightforward.
Using it, I feel “closer” to my computer.

A keygrabber which can do various things based on key combinations. You don’t need to bother with Blackbox as your window manager if you don’t want.

.bbkeysrc has some configuration notes.

This topic tends to be particular to Linux. Other operating systems like Windows have their own “window managers” integrated into every version.
