Slackware 12.2 Released
pilsner.urquell submitted a quote from the announcement saying "Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release again. So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.2! Since we've moved to supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and fine-tuned the system to get the most out of it), we feel that Slackware 12.2 has many improvements over our last release (Slackware 12.1) and is a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user."
Is that someone is making very major decisions about the software you run on your machine. If you are the normal Linux moron who only cares about Desktop BS(why in god's name dont you people just use Macs?) then you get upset about having to understand what is going on. I get upset when I have to fight over figuring out how to compile out the stupid mistakes people put in binary packages. This is why I greatly respect people who use BSDs or Slackware and always wonder a little about someone using Debian or Umbatu, do they know what they are doing? Or are they just playing at it because they think apt-get makes them UNIX gods. RedHat I think is a little different because at least they have a good business support system. Same goes for Solaris for the same reason. It is time for the Linux hobbist to find a new toy and quit trying to make a beautiful system into god damn Windows!
