Not in a        million years would I ask that question. It would be "for Slackware        15.0", or perhaps "Slackware-current". No real Slacker would ask such a        stupid thing.               DC> Also, it's not a "huge" portion of the community that uses it. It's a        DC> "small" portion, in fact.

However many there are,        there are *FAR* more using a release version.              But what would I know? I've only been using it for 26 years. |
