Slackware 11.0 was announced today.  My myth box on 10.2 is rock solid
stable right now, so I'll probably wait a little bit before upgrading,
especially since the fall TV season just started.  When I do decide to
upgrade and if I have enough patience, I'll try to keep some notes and
pass them on to you to hopefully help with your guide.  Enjoy.
