Slackware 12.2 Released 351
pilsner.urquell submitted a quote from the announcement saying "Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release again. So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.2! Since we've moved to supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and fine-tuned the system to get the most out of it), we feel that Slackware 12.2 has many improvements over our last release (Slackware 12.1) and is a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user."

I'm sure both of you still using Slackware will be very pleased! ;)

It's nice to know that some things just don't change. Niagara Falls keeps falling, the New England Atlantic is always just a bit too cold to really enjoy swimming in, and my first Linux distro keeps on going.
Kudos, Patrick! Long may you release! (And, since I just found out about 20 seconds ago that he's a month younger than me, I look forward to seeing Slack releases into my nursing home years. "Why, when I was your age, youngster, we used xf86cfg to set up X; none of this X.org junk! You kids have it so easy!")

Pat doesn't like PAM, which is why it isn't in Slackware.
And it's also why I'm still using Slackware. :)

"Ubuntu ate my computer" is a great phrase. I've got to figure out how to work it into daily conversation ;-)

Make a typo entering your monitor's scan rate? Too bad. Try again from the beginning, or edit the file with vi.
After procuring a new monitor, natch.

Use a strong root password, DUH.
The Bears and Elk up in canada cant hold down shift, so using any punctuation in the password will protect the computers from the majority of the animals.

Well, I successfully found a way to work "circus midgets ate my balls" into most of my daily conversations - so the Ubuntu line shouldn't be too difficult.

By using Slack, everyone around you will know that your kung-fu is the best kung-fu.
Using Srack gives not the kung-fu. Disciprine... come from within.
This one has grasped the Tao of Linux, pray that we do not grow to fear him in time.
