I have no complaints running -current; it's been very stable for me. I'm content to wait until Pat is good and ready to release 14.2.

Any idea's when this might be?

Once on the page you may have to scroll down to the article.

Glad to see the article, especially this part.

"Yet another 200+ lines of updates in the ChangeLog.txt of Slackware-current. It's obvious that Pat has been watching the LinuxQuestions threads closely."

A big two thumbs up!

With the April 15th announcement of Release Candidate 2, it made the top of the page at Distrowatch.com (as a news story/announcement) and stayed there for 4 or 5 days. A short article also appeared on Phoronix and even here at Linuxquestions,org, under Linux News, was a "headline" with a link to the Slackware change logs.

Congrats to whomever is getting the word out! Keep up the good work!

Edit in: I was just digging around on the 'Net and found this recent post and exchange. A perfect example of why PR is important.
