I still have all the equipment, but haven't made beer in a couple of decades. I think I'd need to buy some soda kegs because I hate bottling.

I did make a couple of cases of plum wine 2 years ago when the tree outside my house produced a huge harvest.

Remember that Debian goes more for stability even if some of its packages may already be obsolete by the time of release.

Woohoo! It's been a long time coming. Good work Pat and the rest of the team.

I'd be interested if you were to sell some limited special releases alongside with Slackware15.0 - then again though, the only fly in the ointment is you probably need a special license to sell your own booze, and the hassle probably isn't worth it... Oh well, I can dream can't I?

Well I'd better increase my savings for rewarding Patrick and all the developers. This year has made me more aware than ever of the importance of reciprocity. Thanks Patrick and all the major contributors \\ //' Live Long and Prosper!

Does Pat catch his own fish?

I thought the home brewers were using those small kegs now.

Though where I come from home brewing used jugs and had the words shine and moon in the name.

# Slackware64-15.0
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# USE MIRRORS.SLACKWARE.COM (DO NOT USE FTP - ONLY HTTP FINDS A NEARBY MIRROR)
# https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-15.0/

And that I should keep slackpkg pointed at one of the mirrors down here on the new mirror file:

Code:

# Slackware64-current
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# USE MIRRORS.SLACKWARE.COM (DO NOT USE FTP - ONLY HTTP FINDS A NEARBY MIRROR)
# https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-current/

Everything is working smoothly and I don't want to break my system

No. I heard that in Minnesota they hunt fishes. With harpoons.
