I've been running Slackware since '95 and am glad a new version comes around. I really don't like the general direction that some other distros have been going. Man have I heard about glibc problems. I would never ever recommend to anyone to run any glibc-based distro until gnu libc gets its acts together. They have been one of the most unstable libs i ever saw. Anyways.. I run Slackware on my servers mainly for security, and because I know there wont be an X bin with a big security hole setuid root somewhere *laugh*
Hopefully cheapbytes.com will start selling 4.0 CDs soon so I can point people to it.
I didn't think it was that bad with mem.. anyways I've been running Slack 3.1 on a 386 4M ram 50M HD for years now and it installed fine and never crashes of course. I use it for a lot of small tasks and am very happy with it.
Hey, maybe it sounds far fetch but if IPP is backed up by HP and Lexmark, it may become a standard quickly. And see what MS says: client side in Win2000 only. How about getting someone to do a Linux software for that? Could get great publicity..
$5k optimized mac vs $800 generic PC? sure il will go faster. Let me build a $5k PC optimized for web serving and I bet anything it will be faster than any MacOS X box at the same price.
I was very impressed with it.... it's fast and works fine without crashes. the only drawback is the price. That beta is a 30 days license only. Price is $299
