I predict 13.2 will be out within a month

I think there is a soon to be released 13.x , look at the change logs http://www.slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=i386 I love that Slackware release when Patrick thinks there should be a new release. Look at other distros release every 6 months, and sometimes it is a good release sometimes not. Slackware is always a good release. Also thanks Alien you have inspired me to become a Slackware subscriber. Thanks for all of the hard work Patrick and others.

Is it time to edit the thread title to read "I incorrectly predicted that 13.2 would be out within a month"?

Amen to that! I also very-much appreciate it that Patrick does not feel pressure to push his stable release out the door. PV *always* gets it right. I also plan to buy 13.2 when released. Thank you for supporting our distro, sizemj!

I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Eric and all of the members of the Slackware Team.

As I see here, and in "Screenshot" thread so many people here is using KDE or XFCE desktop. I was using KDE 3.5 on older versions, but I dont like the KDE 4 "look" and his memory eat. Is here anybody who likes Openbox? I am using it so long and It is the best d.e that I ever seen. Low memory usage, highly configurate, usefull stuffs like obmenu, obconf, keybinding and more.

You could try making the prediction again.

Don't push your luck..

with onehundertandeleventy postings I think we should all gather and do some light chanting about Pat's posting and make up what it might mean to us all in the near future....

Well, if we are going to have a pool, I'll take the following squares:

1 February 2011.

22 February 2011.

1 March 2011.

8 March 2011.

I've been skimming through "Tea Leaf Reading for Dummies", but it says nothing about tea bags, so I'm fscked.

sjampoo · 01-28-2011, 12:38 PM

I put a euro on:
13'th of feb.

*note: Pointless to name a date, since it'll be ready when it's ready, and it's be released shortly after that... so I do not predict, I just gamble*

Well KDE 4.5 XFCE 4.6 GLIBC 2.12.2 GCC 4.5.2 are in the sure bag for 13.2 release so i guess its a kernel watch for now......... although 2.6.35.10 seem to be the choice so far. So now its just the minor stuff(apps) otherwise stability security.............
