Re: linux distribution?

[Kevin Mitchell <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I currently run several versions of slackware from the slackware-current
directory (ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware-current/) and have no
issues.  The current version up there is 4.0.0-beta and it does include
the 2.2.5 kernel, Netscape 4.5.1, KDE 1.1, egcs 1.1.2, plus a whole lot
more new stuff.  (No it is not yet Glibc based, but it contains runtime
Glibc libraries so you can run Star Office and other apps that need this)
