Slackware 9.1 Released

[NetRyder]

Not sure how many people here care, but I thought I'd post this for those that are interested, but have not found out as yet - Slackware has been updated to v9.1

Read the official release notes here:
http://www.slackware.com/announce/9.1.php

Will probably upgrade over the weekend

Having a quick browse over the announce now

Web browsers galore! Includes Netscape Communicator version 7.1,
Konqueror 3.1.4, Mozilla 1.4 (now with anti-aliased font support
and built-in junk email filtering), Epiphany 1.0, and Galeon 1.3.9.

No FB? Shocking!

I have some un-partitioned space on the end of this drive. I may have to install it at some point

Yeah, I just use the XFT-based Firebird releases and install them manually.

Just finished upgrading my packages with swaret

Next on my list:
- Manually compile kernel 2.4.22 (currently using 2.4.20 that came with 9.0)
- Update Dropline Gnome to 2.4.0

2.4.22 is a top kernel. Works really well with me hardware setup.

Oh, sorry, I'm sidwin, a new user here. I've used the information posted here countless amounts of times on my Win XP install.

More recently, I've grown accustomed to Debian Sid, hence my knickname

Anyhoo, hope to add some usefull input along the way.

Cheers.

Cheers mate!

Welcome to NTFS, sidwin. Good to see you as a member now

And yes, I've got 2.4.22 up and running now, and it's working great. Also finished updating to Dropline Gnome 2.4.0. I like the new fade effect when you select the Log Off/Shutdown option. Looks kind of like the XP shutdown fade effect, except that it's faster.

Nice work

I run Gnome 2.4 on my iBook and icewm on my other box, but I really like the new stuff they've done with Gnome.
