Complete, wild speculation on my part, but, I suspect that PV is now kicking the tires and putting the final polish on Slackware 13.0 prior to it being rolled out to the showroom.
Slackware 13.0 will be a performance machine.

I have no idea. As always PV will release Slackware when it is ready.

Dear Pat,
Please ease the suffering of these poor Slack addicts. Some of my friends are now getting close to having a nervous breakdown, they need their shot.
Many thanks in advance.

Pat, every day I wake up at 10, 11 a.m., I can't sleep anymore! 2 weeks ago I was really relaxed but now I wake up at 10 to see if slackware 13 stable gets out! It's an obsession! Put a TODO or something else that can ease my sufferance ;(

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

10am?! I usually check them at 6:30am and one LQ member from Oldham even mentioned some insomnia problems in his blog.

I wonder how do you guys get the Slackware logo on your posts since the browser is not branded.
