Slack
Pat’s changelog reports an upgrade of the installer CD’s kernel, so we should be quite close to Slackware 11.0. Apparently, a lot of the bugaboos from 10.x will be gone, including:
- Automatic scroll wheel enabling in X (yeah, it still wasn’t working in 10.2 without text file edits)
- Kernel 2.6.x with udev (thank goodness)
- Kernel 2.6.x with udev
- Kernel 2.6.x with udev
I must repeat because I manually upgraded so many kernels to get Slack running on the Shuttle, which was, from what I saw, impossibly incompatible with the 2.4 series. If he would drop on Apache 2.x, Postfix, and Dovecot I could have a ready-to-go server.
Something about Apache 1.x, Sendmail, and UW-IMAP is completely unappealing to me.
