Hey folks, I think it's time for Slackware 13.37 (hopefully this helps
make up for our lack of code names) release candidate 1!
After a lot of testing and consideration, we've decided to go with the
recently released 2.6.37.3 Linux kernel which seems to work best for X,
contains support for Speakup, and looks like a better kernel branch to
be using as we move forward.
Please test so we can have a stable release soon. :-)

Plus we are at 'rc3'

Agreed. It is almost time for a stable release. This is going to be great!

1337 - sounds like such a perfect Slackware release, so I disassembled my desktop pc, cleaned all the dust from it, changed wires, thermal paste. Then carefully assembled, moved important data somewhere safe, formatted windows 7 and now it is clean, ready for such important Slackware release. All that is left is wait

Looking forward to the release party! But I suspect that kernel 2.6.38.1 and xfce 4.8 will keep me running with -current when it restarts.

Such as 'killing' a Cuban tobacco pipe, every night?

Do not overdo it! After the second dose, you become high!

We should call the Pet Police?

GazL · 03-24-2011, 07:15 PM

RING RING....
"Hello, Pet Police!.. How may we help you?"

"Yes, Hello officer, I have to report a Martyred Moggy!"

"Ermm... Is that an Ubuntu release?"

13.37... LOVE IT!

Thanks to Pat V. and ALL the Slackware acolytes who are making this happen!

Does holding tea ceremonies every evening count?

P.S.
Out of curiosity, who or what is Bob?
