Run your Slackware 64 bit system with the latest stable kernel – 3.18.1!

I have compiled a very useful (as I think) 64 bit kernel for Slackware 12.0 – 14.1 and/or all Slackware derivatives. For example Slax, Zenwalk, SlackEX and Exton|Defender. The kernel is compiled exactly the same way as Slackware’s latest kernel huge. “My” kernel 3.18.1-x86_64-exton has even more support for new hardware, etc. Kernel 3.18.1 is the latest stable kernel available from Kernel.org. Released 20141216.

Passing some mplayer options to smplayer from a script

PS/edit.: renamed the title as it's really something that makes more sense from within scripts, not from the command line itself. Unless perhaps one makes a wrapper script that edits smplayer.ini with whatever parameters are set by command line and resets afterwards, while still somehow preserving smplayer's own syntax, if that's even possible.

Major edit:

Apparently the best way to go is to dinamically edit or switch/rename the smplayer.ini file, in the following...

Hi,

I maintain my equipment and attempt to keep things updated. Of late my Dell XPS702 Laptop has given some major hardware issue. First off my Wireless mini-pci Intel card started failing. I contacted Dell.com via chat to get a replacement card. The rep replied it would cost $99 for the card. I asked him if the unit supported Bluetooth? He stated no! I asked for a compatible device that supported through 'N' and support Bluetooth. He came back with a device that met these specs for...
