Default PLEASE READ THIS CHANGELOG


Good Morning All,

Changelogs may not be your thing but I would recommend a swift perusal
of this specimen:-

http://www.slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=i386

As well as changes it also covers The Man's current state of health, his
plans for the future of Slackware as far as "succession" goes etc etc

Hell, here's a quotation

,----
| Also, in case of emergency I've left instructions with some very trusted
| people, so nobody should have to worry that if something happens to me
| that their Slackware systems will be orphaned and unsupported. It may be a
| long road back for me, but there will be people taking care of security
| issues as they crop up (like the folks at GUS-BR and SlackSec), and if I
| should make an unplanned departure there are is a basic plan of succession
| in place.
`----


Now that covers just about all the crap about the status of various
groups and the future of the distro that we have endured here
these last six weeks doesn't it?

Hallelujah!!

Whilst it may indeed do so, I fear, that in some cases, that you may
have 'cast your seed upon stony ground', still it doesn't hurt to try
to point the way to the truth.

I assume he means that despite Pat having clarified the situation
sufficiently, it won't stop the unwashed masses from gesticulating
wildly and foaming at the mouth about the uncertain future and/or
imminent demise of Slackware.

Yes, they've certainly been fulfilling the old adage:

When in danger or in doubt,
Run in circles, scream and shout.
