[SOLVED] slackware.org

Is the web page slackware.org something official? It looks nice but seems to be only some information about Slackware.

Is this an advertisement? There's nothing interesting on that page (and it doesn't really look nice).

No I'm not advertising anything and I don't know the owner of this page. It just shows up if you google Slackware. I agree that there is nothing interesting (but think it looks better than the official slackware.com). But maybe someone who doesn't know anything about Slackware could think that this page is something official. So I just wanted to mention that it exists. Just to make it clear: I think it is not very nice to use this url since it could be confused with the official site.

Its a mirroring service. Both AlienBob's and rlworkman's projects are mirrored there, along with other Slackware projects. It is not "official" Slackware, but is a 3rd Party repository.

Thanks for the clarification.

Are you sure you are talking about slackware.org? That domain was grabbed by someone outside of Slackware team long ago.
Currently it hosts a Wordpress blog with some generic text about Slackware but no repository mirrors are hosted on slackware.org as far as I am aware.

You're probably thinking of slackware dot org dot uk, which redirects to slackware dot uk

When I typed slackware.org into Firefox, it went to slackware.uk - I just noticed that now.
So I opened Chromium and typed slackware.org, and got a whole different result.....

It seems that FF finished it for me. I was paying attention this time. I had never been to slackware.uk using Chromium which is why I got a different result.

I need to pay attention.

Harmless mistake. No need to worry.
