Slackware Linux 10.2 Released 250
excelblue writes "Slackware Linux 10.2 has finally been released. This release comes with Linux 2.4.31, with 2.6.13 available in the testing packages and glibc 2.3.5. This time, they've decided to get up with times and switch to Firefox, Thunderbird, and subversion instead of using the Mozilla suite and cvs from the previous distros. Here are Torrents of ISO images."

Time to test the 2Gb/s Internet connection with some torrent seeds
Well done to the Slackware team on another nice release of the nicest, most stable and most usable (for admins) Linux release there is.
Really, the completr lack of package management and silly whizzy clicky admin tools makes Slackware a lllot easier to admin when you have 120 servers running it.

Is it not easier to use gentoo for such a monstrous installation base?

I'm confused by your metaphors. Are you saying you pulled a dick out of your butt?

From time to time I think about trying a Slack-based distribution which is focused more narrowly on desktop use, but the package selections are never quite right... so I'd end up trying to tweak them as well. In which case, might as well stay with the original.
Ah, Slackware. Frustrating. Beautiful. Just like a woman, but without the breasts. And, in all probability, the closest most of us will ever get to a woman.
