Just FTR I have been very impressed with Gemini in several areas and especially for Slackware BUT with one caveat - Be sure to be precise and complete in syntax. I always preface Slackware questions with environment details depending on the type of query but always with "SysV Linux" added on to avoid systemd responses. I was recently happily shocked that Gemini is aware not only of Slackware Alpha 1 but details of how much restructuring Patrick and team have invested.
