Hi,

Earlier Alien_Bob requested that we should not load/hammer 'Slackware.com' for a while. That request was at 15:37 07-08-09;

from 'Alien_Bob's post';
It is back only to recover the data from the drives. Please do not hammer it.

In the meantime, http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ is being redirected to my mirror at http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/slackbuilds/ because my repository causes most of the load on that server. The rest of http://slackware.com/~alien/ is readily available (it is also mirrored at the same slackware.org.uk server)

I have responded to several posts with inquiries about 'Slackware.com'. I think we should respect the request. I'm sure they will let us know when things are good to go. :)

man, this is some bad timing for a critical failure with 13.0 being in RC stage

Ok the site is back and should be more stable now.

Just a small detail...

It seems the "favicon.ico" file is missing (the blue circle with the "S") or is it just not showing up in my browser?

Nope it's there.

Indeed it is :o
I started Opera and it showed up.

I had to close & open Firefox for the icon to appear again.

Sorry for the confusion :)
