Slackware Linux 13.1 has been released

[metguru]

Anyone given it a try yet?

BTW, thanks gore. I'm horrible at keeping up with all these things.

[gore]

I haven't tried yet, but plan to soon. I still have 12.0 on my Server, and I have 13.0 on two of my machines currently.

It seems to have a lot of the same stuff, but I'm going to probably just put it on my test machine anyway to give it a go.

I can't keep up with them all either heh. Basically, the 3 or 4 Linux distros I care about, I get email updates for lol.

Just waiting for a spare machine to finish formatting, then i'll install and give it a whirl.

Would any of you kind gentlemen care to direct me to a site where I can just download the item (not 300 options!) and install it?

I know how Billy Goat gates wins every time

Cheers mate!...................... 1 hour 28 minutes.............????????????

It didn't say, but I must be looking at about 3Gigs of content?



I was looking to try it on the box I built for Win7 beta testing...?



I shall report back

[HYBR|D]

Yep 4.1GB.

You shouldn't have issues throwing it on that box, if you happen to have issue's let us know.

[metguru]

Man, I really need to get a test box. All of the computers I have ended up with some specific purpose, heh. Maybe I can consolidate with virtualization or something and finally have one that I can just mess with. Having a real box to play with just seems better than installing a virtual machine. I don't know what it is...
