It's been a while since we observed this process with Slackware that some people may have forgotten.

And, there happened even 5 Release Candidates...

Could well happen again.

BUT, the great news is that we are "almost there" and in the next month(s) we will have Slackware 15.0 released.

I beg your pardon, aside from testing 13.37, my last Slackware was Slackware 12 or thereabouts.

Anyways, I've had Slackware 14.2 installed for awhile as a second distro, and I've played around with it quite extensively recently to warm up for Slackware 15. I'm currently testing 15.0 RC1 on another computer. I just wasn't sure that was officially how you do RC1 testing, but seemingly it is..
