[Sheflug] Slackware 8.1 - released!

["Chris J" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For any slackers on the list, Slack 8.1 is out. Huzzah :) www.slackware.com 
for details ... might need to wait a day or more for mirrors to update. 
ftp.slackware.com seems a little slow at the moment, so can't grab 
ChangeLog.

[late news!] Found a mirror that's working ... main points: Kernel 2.4.18, 
XFree 4.2.0, gcc is 2.95.3 by default but 3.1 is included. The Changelog 
notes that the provided Apache is the one that fixes the bug I posted about 
yesterday (ie, the latest), take your pick of browsers ... Netscape 6.2.3, 
Konqueror 3.0.1, Mozilla 1.0, Galeon 1.2.5 ... KDE 3.0.1, GNOME 1.4.1. 
Probably lots more that could be mentioned :)

Anyhow, the active mirror is, for those that are interested:
	ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/
