Quite possible. I am using 4.4.157 currently on my slackware box. That's the slackware shipped one and it works wonderfully for me so I don't worry about updating it until the slackware people update it.

I also have a laptop running slackware current that is more up to date than that, 4.14.73 is what it runs and it does evertyhing it does nicely.

Hallo Alan!

So it did. My laptop running slackware current just went from 4.14.78 to

4.19.

Whoa! That doesn't happen often. Usually they wait a few minor versions before switching. Speaking of which the x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu host is flying;

-={ '<Esc>:r !uname -a' starts }=-
Linux mikey 4.19.0 #1 SMP Tue Oct 23 16:44:16 UTC 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Atom(TM)
CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
-={ '<Esc>:r !uname -a' ends }=-

Whereas on this machine, which is the wireless hostapd and fidonet point;

-={ '<Esc>:r !uname -a' starts }=-
Linux lilmikey 4.17.13 #1 SMP Mon Aug 6 19:07:48 UTC 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N2800 @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
-={ '<Esc>:r !uname -a' ends }=-

I tend to be more conservative on the x86_64-bonnell-linux-gnu just to keep a couple of my neighbours happy.

Right on top of the world.. :)

We're just over half way there and at the western edge.

I haven't had much time to look around it but everthing seems to work. I didn't see the penquins when I booted but I'm sure they'll be back.

Yep, this machine run 4.4.157 and is in a good place.

That one looks much like my BBS machine. It's an amd that has 4 cores running around 1.8GHz. It runs this machine without xorg nicely.

Hallo Alan!

It runs this machine without xorg nicely.

As it should be. One thing I liked about Slackware is that even if xorg (X11 back when) is that it defaults to six consoles on bootup with the option of typing 'startx' if and when you wish to subject yourself to that world.

Kill ssds or the likes on Debian and probably other distributions, and you
have exactly the same.

Hallo Kees!

Kill ssds or the likes on Debian and probably other
distributions, and you have exactly the same.

The kill part sounds fun. ;-)

The last distribution I installed and booted was last year. It was arch-linux on a raspberrypi 3 and the consoles were not exactly what I would call 'good to
go'. I ended up installing slackwarearm and then doing a 'linux from scratch' from there. It turned out to be the correct answer despite all the additional hassel.

This time I am doing a slightly hacked 'cross linux from scratch' using the x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu to build a toolchain that I will chroot to from a raspberry pi. Here is the current evidence;

-={ '<Esc>:read !file /tools/lib/libc-2.28.so' starts }=- /tools/lib/libc-2.28.so: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /tools/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.16.0, with debug_info, not stripped
-={ '<Esc>:read !file /tools/lib/libc-2.28.so' ends }=-

So far so good. The next build will be a 32-bit mips just for fun. I want to see if I can put a chrootable micro-sd drive on the dock of a omega2+ and use that to develop native packages for the boot/root system on there which I'll probably replace once I know that I can. It'll be sort of a WRT thing except better ... if it works that is. I already know the aarch-unknown-linux-gnu will work on a raspberry-pi ... or at least it used to.

Maurice

Yep, it is and it seems to take time for some of the mirrors to update.

I use the giganews server in the US and have good results there.
