Okay. Good. I probably typed my symlinks incorrectly. Thanks.  |

@java in general 
I've taken out slack's put in java's. I went to their site, and ran the test tool, and it says I'm ok and good.
I cannot log-in and use java for routers, HP network printers, nothing. I currently have a bug listed with firefox and hope they will fix this. Can't use online special java app's.
Old java is really broken in firefox and mozilla, it's BS!
It works in konqueror of all things if you can believe that and even opera just fine. FF & Mozilla in linux are a real dissapointment to me to be honest but oh well.
Funny firefox got me into the open source thing..and I cant use it in open source. |

It's comming!
The current changelog, found in slackware.com, is stucked since 6-29.
It's already 4 days without any changes related, and I really believe that this could mean something important:
GET READY SLACKERS!

Yes, I've noticed that Patrick has released changes to slack-current quite regularly, but, nothing since Thursday. Speculation is fun:-)
Will he release 11.0 after the 4th? |

I haven't got a clue... I'm hoping it will be soon, just like everyone else here.
Today I preordered the DVD pack for 11.0. My first linux install was Slackware 3.0. And have tried many many others. And somehow I always return to slack. So.. now after having used Kubuntu for a while... I want my slack back :-( Nothing wrong with Kubuntu though... But it just isn't the same. And after all these Slackware installs... It was time for me to buy one. Better late than never ;-)

I think slackware 11 will be 2.6. If it was 2.4 the release would probobaly be called 10.3. I predict July 15th for the releasedate.

Do you have insider knowledge that 11.0 will be running the 2.4x kernel? Or are you speculating like the rest of us, Chinaman? |

From the changelog:
Quote:
I'm making my steps carefully as -current is very
stable, and I think it should ship as a stable 11.0 soon so that we can
get back to the business of breaking things in -current. :-)
|
So it can only be too late to switch to 2.6 at this point. Pat wouldn't do such a big change in a rush. Even 11.1 may come out with 2.4. |

I wonder what the ratio is of 2.4.32 against 2.6.16 for "current" users.
The more conservative Slackers will be running 10.2 "stable" with security updates.
As for a "11.1" being 2.4.x, I don't see how a release in early 2007 could still be using the 2.4 tree as it is going to be in a critical fixes only mode by then, not supporting about one years worth of hardware
By the end of this year dual core will be the norm and multi core cpus may be appearing. The SMP support in the 2.4 kernel is rather crude.
