Steve, I've gone down the road of playing with slackware-current, and that basically equates to unstable, untested, incompatible, etc. Also, mixing and matching the latest stable rev (9.1) with some of the current stuff is dangerous, they often use different revs of the very basic core stuff like gcc, glibc, and binutils (from which everything is built). With slackware, its usually best to stick with the latest stable rev, and if you need to upgrade stuff, best to build from source. Regarding your sendmail "lockup", I'm willing to bet that the machine was not frozen, rather sendmail was confused about some configuration detail related to networking. Like I said before this is common. That used to happen to me in the redhat 5 days. Usually the problem relates to DNS name resolution. -- Doug
