That's at least a positive. I'll certainly be giving it a try. I just can't help but laugh when I see the juxtaposition of "latest advances" and "kernel 2.4".

i ordered the cd-set today because all the mirrors are swamped! not all mirrors seem to be up-to date either (at least not the portuguses ones, but i wouldn't expect anything else either
), and it would take forever to download on my 1mbit connection (my average on a belgium 1gbit mirror was 10kb/s 
).
but don't get me wrong, it not a punishment at all to buy from the slackware store

Anyone else having trouble booting? I can't get it to do it on my test computer, at all! Haven't tried elsewhere, but this is annoying. I waited all this time, and now I can't boot from CD. To make it even worst, most mirrors still don't have the complete tree.
