Heh, funny, I was trying to find the Slackware x86_64 ISO on the HTTP/FTP mirror page (the torrent wouldn't work for me
), but I gave up...
What I'm doing now: being amazed that the webcam in my laptop works...
out of the box!
I just went into GNOME MPlayer, went to Open->TV->Open Analog TV, and there I was!

I've already got the ISO's thanks to AlienBOB's mirror-slackware-current script.

Thanks, but I already found the 64-bit ISO on another mirror...turns out I just wasn't looking hard enough.
What I'm doing now: getting ready to try out the new Slackware64 in a VM.

I couldn't stand it that hot, 17 here. Was in the low 20's yesterday, but it's cooled off now.

I wasn't able to get it because it is so long that it continues under the "Friends" panel.
I might just view the page source to see.
