 First :it was joke .
 Second : Not allways ,if you have an fddi and not so fast local disk ,
the swap server may be good idea :-) .

BTW .All this discussion is completely off-topic ,so   to make it on-tpic 
2 questions :
 
1 .Is somebody know something about new slackware ?
I heard tht  it named "Slackwae 1996" (not so good idea ) and will
haave 2.0 kernel and all the new stuff (i.e libs ,etc ... ) .
So any information will be welcome .
2. When I do reboot (i.e writing reboot" ) to my Linux box 
( P-90 16 Mb ,850+1.3 G IDE disks )
It hangs but not reboots ,ani ideas  ?

                              
                               Meir .
