Slackware 8.1 is Released

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."
poop smells good!
Afraid of never knowing fear.
Troll leader Anonymis Coward states that there are 7000 goatse.cx trolls. How many ascii art trolls are there? Let's see. The number of goatse.cx versus ascii art posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 ascii art trolls. Pimply-faced GNU hippies posts on $lashdot are about half of the volume of ascii art posts. Therefore there are about 700 Cock-Gobbling GNU Hippies. A recent article put "first post" at about 80 percent of the troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 "first post" trolls. This is consistent with the number of first posts.
last post d00d!
Yep a lot more windows user and linux haters - slackware is not a product to learn linux on for beginners - it is however the best damn Linux out there and once you know a bit about linux you will love it - but please dont install it as your first attempt at linux - if you have only ever used linux then do yourself a favour and start out with something user friendly like mandrake, red hat or lycoris. Slackware and Debian are oses that dont suffer fools lightly..
I refuse to argue with Anonymous Cowards - if you want a discussion get an account....
As I am a Frenchie and proud to be, use Mandrake instead !
Fucking Slackware, Fucking SuSE (Nazis Distros) Fucking Stupid American Distros (Redhat) !
France go on !
Ah yes. The typical geek lost in his computer world. I hate to tell you but the
rest of the world isn't like you.
Yes, I am aware. Don't complain then when a) I get paid more than you because
I possess greater knowledge b) you have to come to me all the time to fix your
problems c) you get rooted/owned and I don't. I have the belief that if you
wish to learn a thing, learn it properly. If you don't, that's fine, but don't
be angry at others for doing what you choose not to do.

"Slackware is the best distro! I love it because it doesn't do anything for me,
:P
and it doesn't have any tools for the user!
IT'S NUMBER ONE WOOHOO!!!"
Linux shouldn't be masochistic
