[ale] Anyone checked out Slackware 12 yet?

[lists at serioustechnology.com (Geoffrey)]

For all you folks who are considering Slackware, may I suggest that you 
purchase a subscription.  Slackware is the oldest distro around and 
Patrick Volkerding, the man behind slackware is pretty much a one man 
team when compared to the other large distros.  As I understand it, he's 
recently had some health issues.  Just the same, the releases continue.

Whenever I'm looking for a full functional, but small footprint install, 
Slack is my first choice.
