qarioz··on Lion Air crash: Investigators say plane was 'not airworthy'
No, you need certification to be able to fly eact plane type, which equal to 6 months retraining. For this incident Boeing "forgot" to tell companies do not do what you usually do, as it doing what you do actually worsen the situation. Boeing released emergency notice after that incident, and data from black box showed that the pilot is doing precisely what they are used to do.

Plane it self is legal to fly at that time.

qarioz··on My Arch Linux Setup with Plasma 5
It's only complicated for the first time. My setup is running just fine for 5+ years.

Compared to when I use Ubuntu, have to upgrade every 6 months and suddenly I got headache because all custom configuration doesn't work anymore or custom repository doesn't work anymore because the maintainer is missing.

Slackware is fine, but Patrick and a bunch of guys is only a small team, and custom package can only do so much. Bless him and may Guinness always flow freely.

Debian is problematic, because their libraries are usually old.
