I'm surprised a Black and White cartoon-style image of Bob isn't in the LILO boot screen for Slackware.

My good friend Dr Sheldon Cooper, B.S., M.S., M.A., Ph.D., Sc.D., the renowned Caltech theoretical physicist sent me the following email of which I have copied an extract.

The release time and date of Slackware 14.0 will be 23rd September 2012 midnight UTC, if it is not then Patrick Volkerding will be my 62nd mortal enemy.
As you can see Shelley is a Slacker and and he is always correct, or so he assures me.

Well, I think because of RC5, it may be delayed by up to a week.
