Pretty crazy that we're closer to 2030, than we are 2005. Where did the time go!

Announcing Slackware Linux 10.2!The second Slackware release of 2005, Slackware Linux 10.2 continues the long Slackware tradition of simplicity, stability, and security.Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll find two of the most advanced desktop environments available today: Xfce 4.2.2, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easyto use desktop environment, and KDE 3.4.2, the latest version of theaward-winning K Desktop Environment.Slackware uses the 2.4.31 kernel bringing you advanced performancefeatures such as the ReiserFS journaling filesystem, SCSI and ATA RAIDvolume support, SATA support, and kernel support for X DRI (the DirectRendering Interface) that brings high-speed hardware accelerated 3Dgraphics to Linux. Additional kernels allow installing Slackwareusing any of the journaling filesystems available for Linux, includingext3, ReiserFS, IBM's JFS, and SGI's XFS. For those Slackware userswho are anxious to try the new 2.6.x kernel series, it is fullysupported by the system. A precompiled Linux 2.6.13 kernel, modules,and source code are provided (along with complete instructions on howto install the new kernel). A bootable 2.6.13 kernel ("test26.s")with support for most SCSI, RAID, and SATA controllers is integratedinto the installer.From the beginning, Slackware has offered a stable and secure Linux distribution for UNIX veterans as well as an easy-to-use system for beginners. Slackware includes everything you'll need to run a powerful server or workstation. Each Slackware package follows the setup and installation instructions from its author(s) as closely as possible, offering you the most stable and easily expandable setup.Here are some of the advanced features of Slackware 10.2:- Runs the 2.4.31 version of the Linux kernel from ftp.kernel.org. Special kernels were prepared to support hardware such as SCSI controllers, SATA controllers, USB keyboards and mice, parallel-port IDE devices, IBM PS/2 machines with the Microchannel bus, and even speech synthesizers providing access to Linux for the visually impaired community. The performance of the 2.4.x kernel series along with Slackware's track record of careful attention to system security make it the perfect choice for running your production servers.- As an alternate choice, Slackware 10.2 includes Linux 2.6.13 source, kernel modules, and binary packages, along with the mkinitrd tool and instructions on using it to install the new kernel (see /boot/README.initrd). When running a 2.6 kernel, Slackware supports udev. This is a system for creating devices in /dev dynamically, greatly reducing device clutter and making it easy to see what devices are actually present in the system.- System binaries are linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.3.5. This version of glibc also has excellent compatibility with existing binaries.- X11R6.8.2 This is the current release of the X.Org Foundation's X Window System. The 6.8.2 version is a new release that includes additional hardware support, functional enhancements and bug fixes. - Installs gcc-3.3.6 as the default C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran-77, and Ada 95 compiler. gcc-3.4.4 is available as an alternate choice.- Support for fully encrypted network connections with OpenSSL, OpenSSH, and GnuPG.- Apache 1.3.33 web server with Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support, SSL, and PHP.- PCMCIA, CardBus, and APM support for laptops. (pcmcia-cs-3.2.. Slackware also now includes hotplug support. This locates and configures most hardware automatically as it is added (or removed) from the system. It also loads the kernel modules required by sound cards and other hardware at boot time.- New development tools, including Perl 5.8.7, Python 2.4.1, Subversion 1.2.3, and graphical tools like Qt designer and KDevelop.- Updated versions of the Slackware package management tools make it easy to add, remove, upgrade, and make your own Slackware packages. Package tracking makes it easy to upgrade from Slackware 10.1 to Slackware 10.2 (see UPGRADE.TXT). The slackpkg tool in /extra can also help update from an older version of Slackware to a newer one, and keep your Slackware system up to date. In addition, the new slacktrack utility (in extra/) will help you build and maintain your own packages.- Web browsers galore! Includes KDE's Konqueror 3.4.2, Mozilla 1.7.11, and the immensely popular new Firefox 1.0.6. (as well as the Thunderbird 1.0.6 email and news client with advanced junk mail filtering)- The complete K Desktop Environment (KDE) version 3.4.2, including the KOffice productivity suite, networking tools, GUI development with KDevelop, multimedia tools, the Konqueror web browser and file manager, dozens of games and utilities, international language support, and more.- A collection of GTK+ based applications, including abiword-2.2.9 (upgraded from version 2.0.12 in Slackware 10.1), gaim-1.5.0, gimp-2.2.8, gkrellm-2.2.7, gxine-0.4.8, and pan-0.14.2.91.- Large repository of extra software packages compiled and ready to run. This includes various window managers, support for 3Dfx gaming cards, OpenMotif-2.2.2, the K3b CD burning application for KDE, the Java(TM) 2 Software Development Kit Standard Edition, libsafe (advanced buffer overflow protection for additional security), ISDN support, additional 802.11 drivers, and much more (see the /extra directory). - Many more improved and upgraded packages than we can list here. For a complete list of core packages in Slackware 10.2, see this file: ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.2/PACKAGES.TXT- Another Slackware exclusive: Slackware's ZipSlack installation option is the fastest, _easiest_ Linux installation ever. ZipSlack provides a basic text-based Linux system as a 48 megabyte ZIP archive. Simply unzip on any FAT or FAT32 partition, edit your boot partition in the LINUX.BAT batch file, and you can be running Linux in less than five minutes. The ZipSlack installation includes everything you need to network with Linux (including Ethernet, token ring, and PPP), and extend the system with additional software packages such as X. A ZipSlack system will even fit on a Zip(TM) disk, so you can carry a personal Linux system with you to run on any PC with a Zip(TM) drive.
Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends. There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
