Slackware 8.1-Stable Released

[pac1085]

Guess it came out last night. Still hasnt hit many mirrors yet though, and the ones that have it are swamped. I've been using 8.1rc1 for a while now, and all I can say is it rocks. Cant wait till I can find a mirror with open spots 😉

Sweet!

I use LFS exclusively now, but still, that is pretty cool. 🙂

Slackware == my favorite binary distro

Woohoo!

And GNOME 2.0 Final in a couple more days, no less...

Slack 8.1 + Moz 1.0 and GNOME 2.0 from source makes for a fun beginning-of-summer project.

I read about it on slashdot today. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any ftp sites.

Here's a list of unofficial mirrors that was posted on slashdot. I haven't tested them.
