Slackware just released 14.2 a couple months back. Not sure what you mean in the second sentence. Package versions here: http://www.slackware.com/releasenotes/packages14.2.php Perl version: PACKAGE NAME: perl-5.22.2-i586-1.txz The way he does security updates is different than Debian. There seems to be a case by case judgement call but for many things, firefox for instance, you often get version updates before the next release via the security updates. The only thing I kind of dislike about slackware is the directory structure in the 64 bit version. Libraries go into /lib64 and /usr/lib64. Obviously this is a pretty petty criticism, but not really needing multilib I find it annoying to have these directory names. I prefer OpenBSD's approach, which is to not bother with multilib and have simple expected names like /usr/lib and /lib. -- Mike Small [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
