I've been running current for years, literally. I don't think I have reinstalled Slackware in this system since, at least, 4 years ago.

BrZ 12-01-2009 03:31 PM
A slightly modded current.

slack64-13 & slack32-13: both stable on 5 comps. All with flux...sometime with a short switch fo xfce. Maybe I'll try another wm in the future (but NEVER NEVER NEVER KDE 4.x)

Ditto. Much better than 4.2.4.
I was running Xfce for a while, and still do every now and then, but found it is not as stable as KDE 4.3.1

I don't think current will introduce any large security/stability issues, but it requires a lot of updating.

willysr 12-01-2009 06:05 PM
always running on -Current

Since Slackware64, I've used only current. So far, I've not had a problem.

~sHyLoCk~ 12-01-2009 07:07 PM
Slackware -current is more stable than running a bleeding edge rolling release distro or the testing repos of other distros, because I'm guess these packages are actually tested before pushed into -current, where they go further testing? Correct me if I'm wrong.

In college I usually ran current. Now that I'm out I just run stable. I know that keeping current would only take about 10 minutes extra a week, but why mess with something that works, especially when I don't have as much time to fiddle with it?

Stable with vbatts' KDE 4.3.1 packages.My internet connection is dial-up 56K(pci modem Lucent/Agere), then download current is difficult ...

A (stable) mix with KDE 4.3.3 from current. Works like a charm!

Please would you share how you installed kde-4.3.3 on 13.0-stable?

I ALWAYS run stable.

I am a very conservative guy - maybe that is why I like Slackware.
