if you want to go that route, go ask for support for the "most recent
Slackware version" and see what the first follow up question they ask is :)
"Slackware" as you generalized it refers to current too.

go read the linuxquestions forums heh. there's even a 100 page sticky thread
about installing slackbuilds in current because.. it has a /lot/ of users!

Anyone asking a question like that would deserve to get flamed. Not in a
million years would I ask that question. It would be "for Slackware
15.0", or perhaps "Slackware-current". No real Slacker would ask such a
stupid thing.

I won't quibble over what "small" and "lot" mean. However many there are,
there are *FAR* more using a release version.

But what would I know? I've only been using it for 26 years. <SHRUG>

.... Daddy, what does "now formatting drive C:" mean?
