Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Hi Bastiaan,

I'm sorry to say that I can't be of any help to you with WinXP

However....

I _can_ suggest a way to get that new computer
up-n-running correctly in no-time-flat. ;-)

2007-07-02 Slackware 12.0 is released!
______________________________________________________________________

I already have SlackWare Linux versions 7, 10 and 11
and have already placed my 'pre-order' for the v12.0 CD set
which should be shipping within the next few days.

Now... you might be asking yourself...
"What does ANY of that have to do with Arachne ????"

Well folks, in-case you missed the other thread....
Linux Arachne is off of the 'back burner' and is now in the works again.

We should have a brand-new version of Arachne for Linux by years-end.
