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"

    Beside the fact that you CAN install a program like OOo without a package or without compiling,like, by using a installer!

    Perhaps you should RTFA. His illness is in no way over.

    From the latest changelog entry, it looks like progress is being made, but he still has a bunch of diagnostics facing him and possible heart surgery. That hardly qualifies as "over."

    I think I'll wander over and buy a copy of Slackware now.
