Slackware 11.0 almost ready!

I think I'll wait for it to be released before I install my new 320gb SATA HDD. :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  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.

I thought they upgraded to kernel 2.6 in Slack 10.1, but /. says they upgraded to kernel 2.4.33.  :o

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

It was available in Slack 10.1 as an option. Same with Slack 11.

2.4 series is more stable than 2.6. 2.6's minor changes can be drastic. It's sickening. :/

Yeah, Patrick favors speed/general useability over the newer kernel.  However, 2.4.33 is as up-to-date as 2.6.17, they're both the heads.

Hmm.. maybe I'll try it out. I rememer when I tried 10.2.... total nightmare.

Too bad there's no GNOME. I always like GNOME better than KDE. I think KDE is ugly.

Nightmare?  I've never had an issue with Slackware, but that's just me. 

You can get a third-party gnome package easily, try www.linuxpackages.net, the best source for non-standard Slackware packages.

I remember upgrading from 10.1 to 10.2 (I thought it was 10.0 to 10.1... but eh :/) and I broke my kernel. :(

Heh, it was mostly hardware detection that caused the nightmare, lol.

Oh, really.... hmm, maybe I will try it out. Hopefully the hardware detection is a lot better than 10.2.

What hardware wasn't detected? You should be able to get through an install (boot with sata.i if you have an SATA HDD), and then configure a kernel to meet your hardware specifications... (www.kernel.org).

It wasn't the installation that was the problem. I installed it fine, but my resolution was a small box in the middle of the screen (probably because my card wasn't detected), my internet didn't work (probably because my modem/router wasn't detected), so I couldn't get drivers, my USB mouse didn't work, etc. That's all I can remember from the top of my head.

I have that same issue on the laptop I use. I just jack the resolution up to 1600x1200 and it doesn't bother me! :)

Hm.  Turn up the resolution.  Make sure you run net-config (IIRC that's what it's called).  Enable hotplug.  All of that happened to me too.

You have the same laptop as I do. If I remember correctly, I couldn't get any higher than 640x480.

Haha, I guess I'll try that out when 11.0 comes out.
