Slackware 14.2+

Hi
After all the updates used slackpkg+ I think Slackware is more and more unstable, It hags sometimes so much so I can´t do nothing but hit the button. I can´t remember that it was so earlier, my Slackware had never hang itself soo.

I have two other computers ( Arch Linux ) and they have never hangs ever. And then Arch Linux are more bleeding edge than Slackware.

Are there anyone else that have this problem??

Thanks!

It depends. If you are running Slackware 14.2 and used slackpkg+ to mix Slackware 14.2 repositories with slackare-current repositories then instability is waiting for you.
If you stick to repositories that are meant for 14.2 then you should be safe.
Perhaps you should just offer more detail so that crystal balls are not required.

I think you have a point there, I looked in my slackpkg+ file and there are booth curent and stable, and I will change that and we see.

Thank you very much

I'm surprised Slackware didn't completely crap on itself. If you did the same with Debian it definitely would.

I've mixed stable with current before,

you could do clean system to get yourself back to step one as well, then see if you still have mixed files
