Im sorry folks, i thought it was outdated since i saw here: http://www.slackware.com/
that the last post was in 2016-07-01 and its title is Slackware 14.2 is released!, thanks!
well i'm going to take the psychologist approach so @Mx-angel my guess is that's just a naive post rather than deliberate antagonism . Jesus people are touchy on here
It's funny but many users think things are dead unless they are constantly updated. Now I get that in the FOSS world, the users are the testers, but rapid change is not always good. Also, if no vulnerabilities and something works, no need to change it. I have used FOSS apps that haven't been updated in years but they have no vulnerabilities and still work fine.
I will admit though that Slackware is very different than most Linux distros out there so users not accustomed to how things in the Slack world work are going to be thrown for a loop.
