We can witness the results of -current being kind of slow. Hitest seems to be loosing it
I'm not surprised. I switched to -current a few weeks ago and because of the fact that nothing's going on in -current I had to see my psychiatrist (based in Emacs)
Cabin fever is setting in. Walk outside for a true awakening! It's cold outside here, 10° and dropping. brrrr
Slackware changelog is slow as molasses so not much else too do.
Nope. I'm not losing it.......yet.
I just felt the need to talk about Slackware; I am marking time and feeling thankful tonight. I will take a walk outside, onebuck.
Yeah, I know I'm preaching to the choir, my friends.
Well - I've been installing a few different distros in vm's as well as a spare drive I have. None of them have lasted more than an hour or so with experimenting. Even if I have a catastrophic failure, I can have a new install of Slackware up and just like I now have in about an hour and a half. That includes all customizations. Aren't backups fun!

Exactly. I currently have a lot of VMs that I play with, but, when I run a new distro on a my HD it always falls short of my expectations and it does not feel right. It is very enjoyable to do a clean install of Slackware and set it up properly.
A couple of weeks ago I got a little bored so I wiped out my Slackware install and tried out Debian testing. Then decided I'd prefer Debian stable. Then after a few hours of playing with Squeeze I decided I missed Slackware and came running back.
So yes, there is no substitute for Slack. Also I think Linux has made me slightly insane. There is too much choice!
