Slackware 10.1 Beta And Pat's Health

Posted by timothy on from the slack-is-slick dept.

phreakuencies writes "The ChangeLog in slackware-current got a distiguished update today on Jan 22: Patrick Volkerding updated us on his health condition stating he is not back in perfect shape but getting more medical tests and results. The initial phrase on the ChangeLog: 'I'm going to call this Slackware 10.1 beta 1, because we're at a state where things are relatively stable.' Read up here"

    Patrick could just post a complete changelog of his health?

    "Patrick Volkerding".

    However, it seems that there has been a bug fix for this package's recent problem :-)

    learn the inner workings of Linux and uses some CPU running below 1GHZ

    You mean iPod?

  4. Infective endocarditis by Fredge · · Score: 5, Funny

    One of Pat's logs mentions that he was diagnosed with and being treated for infective endocarditis. The medical literature I've read informally refers to that disease as IE.

    I think we all know what IE can do to your system. I would have thought Pat would have known better than to mess with it. Perhaps he should spend a little more time reading Slashdot? At any rate, the cure is pretty simple.

  5. Health and version numbering... by Jugalator · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm going to call this Slackware 10.1 beta 1, because we're at a state where things are relatively stable.

    WTF!

    He shouldn't let his health condition affect what he labels the Slackware versions! :-)

    A couple of years ago (or maybe even now for outsiders), people were wondering what would happen if Linus went one-to-one with a bus.


    What is there to wonder about? Clearly the bus would be completely and utterly destroyed.
