"Good hello, let's call this Slackware 14.2 release candidate 1. We still
have a bit of work to do before this is fully ready to go, but we're done
doing every little upgrade that comes along. Well, mostly.
Have a great day, and beannachtai na Feile Padraig oraibh!"

Re: Linux News
^ I run two versions of current, one without bluez, pulseaudio, pamixer, pavucontrol, windowmaker, kde, xfce, blackbox, fvwm2, twm, and use rebuilt alsa-libs and alsa-plugins with asoundrc replacing asound.conf pointing pulse, and one current version with everything and the kitchen sink. Not a fan of the look of Plasma. I usually run Fluxbox with Slack but have at times run a SlackBang. Slackware is my home and comfort zone where I retreat to when I get pissed off with another distro. I make my own SlackBuilds so I can run the version of whatever package I want to add without having to wait for an upgrade or downgrade something because it no longer works on my system.

Re: Linux News
This. I feel the same, I always come back to slack. :)Slackware is my home and comfort zone where I retreat to when I get pissed off with another distro.
That sounds like a sane approach, much like I tend to do things: a no-X slack for fb/tmux action, and then either fluxbox and/or xfce, but also usually cwm and spectrwm as well. And whatever other window managers I may be experimenting with. Mostly I don't bother with kde any more, although I can still appreciate the work they're doing (compared to Gnome, anyway!).

Re: Linux News
The guy is such a Rebecca Black fan that he named his distro after her...he obviously isn't married because he is still breathing, lols!
But I did check out the site, and did a little studying on the direction Wayland is taking. I thought it was going to be a replacement for X, but as it turns out, X is going to play an integral part in the fully-functioning Wayland that this guy envisions. I will have to dig out the link...brb....

^doubledutch flowin' Linux style! :) Speaking of FSF, Dynebolic was one of the first fully-functioning distros I ever got to work, and still approved by the Mighty GNU! :)

Re: Linux News
^ Why isn't there a BSD thread?
[BSD talk:on]I'm sure enough of us use some form of BSD to warrant a thread. I just installed PCBSD for a professor at the local polytechnic school here. I use FreeBSD and want to try DragonBSD
[BSD talk:off] We now resume our regular Linux programming.
NuTyX 8.1-rc3 is out for you fans of LFS/CRUX (me included) and as mentioned by Frank and Pidsley in another thread, NuTyX also has a 32-bit release, unlike CRUX now which only releases 64-bit. I'm downloading now and going to give it a whirl.

Re: Linux News
For Slackware fans, (nodding at Bones) AlienBOB (Eric Hameleers) has migrated all his stuff to a new server and it is great. New slackware-current isos available again. http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/

Re: Linux News
^^ Ah! I tried downloading his Slackware Current iso several days ago and his server was down. It must have been during the transition :)

^ build one yourself? Using alienbob's script, you only need a few minor modifications to the script if you want to run it from debian host. :)
