Slackware Linux [LWN.net]

Slackware users may have noticed that the Slackware website has been down. This note, dated December 18, 2002, explains why. "Due to a series of DDoS attacks which began on Dec 11 and continued until yesterday afternoon, it has been difficult or impossible to reach our website for nearly a week. We're glad that it seems to have stopped, but have no idea who is behind the attacks, why they're doing it, or if they will start again. We apologize for the downtime. An investigation into the source of the attacks is ongoing, and we ask that anyone with any information that may help contact the Slackware Security team at security@slackware.com. Thanks for your patience."

Now that the site is back up you can check out all the latest changes to slackware-current on the change log.
