HAL automount, KDE 3.5.7 and XFCE 4.4.1, Xorg 7.2, 2.6 kernels as far as the eye can see, oodles of updated applications and utilities, and hardware support for just about anything under the sun. Get it here. Enjoy! I know I will."

Yeah. My initial impression of Feisty was that it was an amazingly superior version of Windows Vista ;)

AAAAAHHHH Damn it! I was thinking the *exact* same thing. I have to just put it out of my mind because I've got code to release tomorrow and we're down on devs by 60% :-(

I'm going to take a stand. I'm going to take charge. I'm *not* going to let the Slackware upgrade dominate my thoughts! I will fight the urge! I will write my code so I can keep my job and my house and my wife. I will make the right choice.

There! I don't feel any better and it doesn't make it okay. I still want to upgrade my Slack boxes. It's fun even after 13 years ;-)

Call in sick. You know it will make you sick if you can't get your Slack.

Yeah, *Gutsy* humour is the way to go now; -Feisty-, at the very least.

I can't think of a better place to mention it than the Slackware 12.0 announcement thread in Slashdot, because it's probably going to be read by both Slackware users.

there, fixed that for you.

12 versions in 14 years
4 + 1 = 7. It's true! Pat says so. ;)
