Slackware 10.0 Officially Released

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday June 23, 2004 @01:24PM from the not-so-slack dept.

BRTB writes "Slackware 10.0 is out! X.org 6.7.0, kernel 2.4.26 (2.6.7 optional), KDE 3.2.3, GNOME 2.6.1, GCC 3.3.4... it's all new, and just as stable as you'd expect from Slackware, if RC2 was any indication. There's an official announcement, as well as some ISO BitTorrent links, and a mirror list. Of course, the non-cheapskates among us should go buy the CD-set to support the project. Have fun, everybody..."

  You haven't even been modded down yet, this is a fitting example of your failiure.
  Don't even bother trying to hang with the GNAA big boys, just go now and die in whatever way you see fit.

Although, I'm sure Slack is the greatest it ever was, and won't let me down. If I had DSL, I would get it right away, but...56K doesn't believe in fast downloads. Yes, I'm still in the stone age.

Sadly our response teams are often distracted by widespread sodomy and the dulcet tones of Emerson Lake and Palmer, ...

Funny and true!

Thanks for the laughs GNAA!

Bob Bemer

POSSUM KINGDOM LAKE, Texas (AP) -- Bob Bemer, a computer pioneer who published warnings of the Y2K problem in the early 1970s and helped invent a widely used coding system, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 84. Bemer died Tuesday at his home along Possum Kingdom Lake, about 120 miles west of Dallas, said his stepson, Glen Teeler. Bemer played an major role in how the world's computers operate. He helped invent the ASCII coding system that is used in computers to represent text, and also contributed the escape key and the backslash to the computer language.

Slackware is what taught me about open-source and free software. I've been trying to teach others about it ever since. Somehow the concept of sharing has gotten so lost in the Christian community that it's taken a atheist to remind us what it is.
