Yeah, if you run slackware -current, and also subscribes to the new versions(CD/DVD) from slackware.org you get the best solutions. Check out AlienBob's blog as well for new packages:

If Slackware 14 (or 13.2) will be released "when it's ready" then the obvious question is....

"What are the criteria for it to be ready?"

Anyone have a clue about that?

The RC will be released on a Wednesday but the official announcement will be 20 days later just to make you sweat.

I suppose there's only a criteria: when Pat thinks it is. :)

When all the package upgrades have been completed and they have all been tested to work well with eachother.
BTW... there was an xorg update today.

Yep, Pat's keeping us guessing this cycle. Every time I start to think "Well, this must be about ready....", he knocks out another big set of updates and it's back to "Hmmm... still a few weeks off then".

IMHO, when somebody is not a developer (like me), dont need a new kernel to support for hardware or system packages like Xorg, glibc ...dont need a new versions of libs for compling, have a fully working and wonderfull stable system, how is main reason for upgrade?

Hi,

If it's working, don't fix it!

RC soon?
:hattip:

If you use KDE as a Desktop Environment with 13.1 then there are some problems. KDE SC 4.4.3 is not stable.

Having said that; I've never had a problem when I wasn't using KDE; but you have to judge an OS as a full package.

Do you think that Pat doesn't give (approximate) release dates because that way more people are likely to use -current and therefore test and report on bugs? Just a theory.

Kids don't say that in my car ;)

I cured my daughter of that when she was a wee lass.

Everytime she asked, "Are we there yet?" I answered, "Why, YES WE ARE!"

Because, for anyone who's ever watched Peter Weller in Buckaroo Banzai it is already clear...

"No Matter where you go.... There you are."

Now, as I recall, Wasn't Patrick poking fun at version numbers again just a few weeks ago?

I recall some "42" jokes and something else... ;)

1337 ftw

Darkmaze 02-03-2011 04:26 PM
depends on number inflation version numbers are just that current has no version number only corporations need them so....

Wow. Another reason to like slackware and slackers. Where else can you get a references to "42" and Buckaroo Banzai in one post.

That's because Slackware is not a distro, it's a state of mind:)

Let's hope it's not the state of my mind, or we're all deep in the brown smelly stuff. :D
