Thank-you Pat, devs, testers, and all others that helped to get us this release.
Even though I'll be busy now for a while, it will be with a big grin on my face

I've just ordered using Visa ELECTRON. Usually when they specify VISA, they rarely accept VISA Electron. So you might want to try your luck.

Thanks to the whole Slackware team including Pat V.

I'm torrenting slackware64 right now ... if you are, please leave it running for a while, cuz it's not going too fast.

EDIT:
Now that I think about it, I wish I could download disks 1 and 2 ... that would save everyone a lot of bandwidth ... oh well.

You can by using Torrent: Slackware.

I've updated the 'Slackware-Links'. More than just SlackwareŽ links!

Plus; Thanks to the Slackware Team!

Edit: My bad.This site only has the 13.0 x86 cd1,cd2,cd3 or the install DVD.

Thank you Pat V., Robby, Eric, and the rest of the Slackware crew. Once I get some money from my scholarships I think that some of that might have to be well spent at the Slackware store

Cheers on releasing 13.0
