<p class="MsoNormal">Despite that Slackware Linux predates virtualisation and
Cloud Computer by many years it is not normally considered for Amazon Web

of updated and comprehensive documentation on how this can be implemented. After
some research, the author managed to identify the following sources:</p>

100% agreed. Those derogatory comments sucks. I just removed them.<br>
<br>
As for the first three paragraphs, I think they contextualize why Slackware is so underrated in the cloud front. Sure that this is my opinion (lack of documentation), but I tend to believe that it's quite correct (maybe because it's my opinion in the first place).<br>
<br>
If there's the need to remove that three paragraphs, then I think to remove the whole first section is fine, as the mention to the other articles have no reason to exists then. Just imagine an article beginning with:<br>
<br>
"But let's be fair here..."<br>
<br>
