No it isn't! not at all. I called Peter intending to maybe buy SLS from
him. I asked about the ad and was told that the Win 3.1 stuff hadn't been
sent to him or somesuch. Kind of stupid to adverttize something that isn't
truely in the product. To each his own, I guess.
I'll be putting my own semi-release together for some pretty specialized
software that I am writing. I would never consider saying in PRINT that I had
something in my distribution that wasn't there.
Actually, rather than do my own semi-release, I'll probably just have them
grab Slackware.
