Lucky my internet was down for a bit or I would have had the first post about it :-)

Slackware 9.0 is released... happy release day!
bootdisks/*: Patched kmod/ptrace hole. (see below)
kernels/*: Patched kmod/ptrace hole. (see below)
a/kernel-ide-2.4.20-i486-5.tgz: Patched kmod/ptrace hole. (see below)
ap/mysql-3.23.56-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mysql-3.23.56.
d/ccache-2.2-i386-1.tgz: Added ccache-2.2.
d/kernel-headers-2.4.20-i386-5.tgz: Patched ptrace related headers.
k/kernel-source-2.4.20-noarch-5.tgz: Patched kmod/ptrace hole.
The kernel module loader in Linux kernel 2.2.x before 2.2.25, and 2.4.x
before 2.4.20, allows local users to gain root privileges by using ptrace
to attach to a child process that is spawned by the kernel.

Anyone have a list of those weird mirrors that aren't linked off of the regular slackware page?

Cheers,

I believe the first beta release was in April...followed by the first public release which wasn't acually released until early August.

Scratch that...beta in August 1992...release in April 1993. Sorry The email link earlier was discussing SLS (Softlanding Linux System) which Slack was largely based on at the time.

You'll have to keep an eye on your nearest mirror, it usually takes a few days for all of them to update.

The link above has mirror sites where some people have assembled their own, "unofficial" images... its the same Slackware man... I got one off of a very little known mirror that's oddly enough a K-6 233 at UCLA:

ftp.linux.ucla.edu

Limit 20, I was getting about 140k/s all night, I was #5

Cheers,

Finegan
