I'm also betting for next week, it will probably be on Friday, so you picked a good time. I'll bet on Saturday the 22nd 16:00 UTC.

Since my workweek starts Sunday at 1700, I'm predicting September 16 at 1631 PDT. Just after I walk out the door, of course.

Oh and donate my winnings to the Slackware store. I'm reach beyond means. I just won the "Facebook International Online Lottery".

Now to go deal with my firebug ghost.

No prohibition on Slackware team members entering this that I can see, and we could sure use the $1M in funding! My best guess is that it wi3$%21KEI_+\= *** CARRIER LOST ***

I'll guess October, and there will be an RC 5 first.

(Hopefully I will be proven wrong )

Oh Man ... what is the urgency?

It will be ready when it's ready. But just for fun, maybe on Monday at 3 pm will be out ... but who knows?

Anytime in the next 3 weeks is perfect for me

I've just finished documenting and backing up all my config files with improvements made over the past few years.
