t has been awhile since I've run FreeBSD so I thought I'd try the latest offering from the stable branch. This is FreeBSD 7.0 running KDE 3.5.8. I'm liking KDE a lot again:-)
I set-up a dual boot with FreeBSD 7.0 on one of my Slackware 12.1 boxes.
It is all good.

Agreed!!!   To continue:

I thought I'd bump this thread.

I took this shot at the Nitobe Memorial Garden in Vancouver, BC.  This Zen garden is situated in my old alma mater, the University of British Columbia.

Just got in last night, it is good to be home!

Thanks, Guys:-)  Got in last night.  I'll be on off-and-on over the next 2-3 weeks.  Taking my kids to the Vancouver Aquarium tomorrow to look at the fishies:-)

I'm hitting the road this a.m. driving south 1500 km. So I'll be off-line intermittently for the next two to three weeks. I'm really looking forward to this, I haven't seen my Dad for one year. See you folks soon:-)

I formatted my old Slackware 12.1 box on Monday, decided to give Debian Lenny another look.
Lenny is running surprisingly well on this ancient Plll 667 MHz IBM with 256 MB RAM. I'm still running Slackware 12.1 on my main work station:-)

you're welcome:-)

I did a quick search and found this thread which may be of some use to you, Dragon.

George Carlin has passed away.  He will be missed.  Rest in peace, George.

Great idea, Dragon!  Thank you.  I'll let my 14 year old know about this site.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dragon.  I'll log-off later this afternoon:-)

Hi Guys:-)  Paperwork is done.....it is good to be home again.

Congrats, rv56!

Sounds good, Dragon!   I look forward to viewing the new layout.

Slackware 12.1, XFce 4.4.2

This is interesting:-) I did an install of Gnome Slackbuild on one of my Slackware 12.1 boxes last night. GSB integrates nicely into Slackware without messing up your installation. All my other desktop environments still work. It has a package manager:-) I used Gslapt to update the install this morning.

Edit added later:

Regarding Gnome Slackbuild: the jury is still out for me. I've been running GSB now for 48 hours and I've encountered a bug or two. Sometimes when logging out or in using GDM the desktop crashes. Also, GDM doesn't play as nice with the other WMs as I initially thought it did.
I will go back to running Slackware only on this unit. This was a fun experiment:-)

I found this one funny:-)

Thanks, Liz:-)  Heh-heh, sorry for the snow reference:-) 

Hi Friends:-)

I'm now into my year-end paper crunch right now.....I'll be snowed under for 3-4 weeks.  I will check-in as much as I can, but, I may be a bit off-line from time-to-time.  I'll see you soon:-)

Welcome back!

Hiya Michael:-)  I hope the move is smooth and uneventful; we will see you when you return:-)

Nice shots, Dragon:-)  I'm hoping that we'll start to get some spring weather up here, it is still cool.

Installed 12.1 this morning on two boxes, it went smooth as silk.  This is a very good upgrade:-)

Hey, my fellow Slackers!  Slackware 12.1 released today:-)  I just ordered my 6 CD set from the Slackware store, as I want to support Pat.  I'm downloading the CDs now via bit torrent.

Control

high.....performance

Just gave Ubuntu 8.04 a try today.........I'm impressed.  I got it installed on an IBM Netvista at work that has problems with Linux:-)  Very nice indeed.

Happy Birthday:-)
