Taking Up the Slack(ware) - page 4
Catching Up with Slackware 8.1rc2
Unfortunately, Joe Lunchbucket might conclude that he has too much hand editing and tweaking to do for Slackware to be right for him. If so, he'd be losing out. I'd personally like to see Slackware adopt a more user friendly installer and also have the chance to configure X, sound, and a printer during the installation. I can live without these features. Maybe Bubba can't. It's up to Patrick Volkerding and the Slackware community to decide whether or not that's a problem.
For my money, Slackware 8.1 is, without a doubt, the best Slackware yet. It's fast, new, shiny, has that wonderful new car smell, and is coming soon to a mirror site near you!
