Sorry to do this here, but I know there are a couple people that seem to have their fingers on the pulse of Slackware news and development. I saw that 10.2 went beta a little while ago http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Linux-Distributions/Slackware-425.shtml - any news on a stable release date? I just got a new (well, used technically) laptop and I hate it when I throw Linux on it only to see a new distro released weeks later. I'm not thrilled about the switch to KDE, I've been using dropline gnome for slackware, but I've heard that Freerock Gnome http://gsb.freerock.org/ is probably a better way to go since it doesn't install PAM and replace Xorg. Any thoughts? Josh
