I could have sworn I saved the post, but the last
time there was discussion of "when will the next release
be" someone said an indicator was to watch that aaa_base
changes.

It just changed, on Tuesday:

Tue Jun 16 17:50:30 CDT 2009
a/aaa_base-13.0-noarch-1.txz: Rebuilt. Updated slackware-version.

And no, I haven't really followed it closely enough to see
the pattern that comes before that.

But it's definite, no .X jump, it's going to 13.

I'm slow, I still haven't moved to 12.2

Slackware.com is run off a RFC 1149 network, so bandwidth can be an
issue. Don't forget to seed when the torrents come up, maybe nuts too.

You'll find that seed is very important to a RFC 1149 network.

Let's not forget water / baths and houses. ... And *NO* cats.
