Has anyone heard if Pat will release the next Slackware any time soon? I
keep updated to the slackware-current diretory and my system runs great!

If he maintians the every six month rate he has for the past 12 years,
either july or august. As was said, when its ready.

Plus maybe Pat waiting for stable 2.6? Switching from BK to git SCM
during 2.6.12 cycle has shaken up l-k somewhat, they seem fairly close
to stabilising 2.6.12 now, then give a few more weeks for little fixes
in in 2.6.12.nn.

Which distro gonna plan on releasing with l-k 2.6.13?

Hmm, when is next Friday 13th? Not this year... -ECRYSTALBALLCLOUDY

I'd wouldn't be surprised if he was waiting for that for Slack 11, but
since he's always released every six months (even in spite of his
illness last year) I would think its more likely that if he does not
consider 2.6 stable enough come july or august he'll release a 10.2
instead with all the changes he's made since februaury, and hold off on
11 till early next year. But then again, this is pure specualation.

I think you're probably right on the next Slack being 10.2, I think that
11.0 will be reserved for the first GCC 4.x release.

Or the first one with the 2.6 kernel STANDARD (and not just in /testing),
whatever happens first.
