Highlights of this release include KDE 3.0.1, GNOME 1.4.1 (with new additions like Evolution), the long-awaited Mozilla 1.0 browser, support for many new filesystems like ext3, ReiserFS, JFS, and XFS, and support for several new SCSI and ATA RAID controllers. Remember to buy your copies at http://store.slackware.com. List of download mirrors here. Public releases of Mozilla AND Slackware in the same month, I'm so happy I've soiled myself."

    When Slackware has KDE3 before Debian (unstable) has, then I know Debian is slipping.
    (Okay, yes, KDE3 debs do exist, I'm using them, but they aren't done well and pretty much fuck up any chance of running kde2 related debs on kde3.)

    (No, this isn't a troll, it isn't overrated, nor flaming, nor anything else, just leave me be at +1. I won't hurt anyone).
