Hey Nick!

slackware-current has it.  I haven't checked but I think I might have outpaced
them as well.  Usually I am just a step behind the archlinux powers-that-be.

There is no way that is possible.  I am guessing that even a 96 penguin
threadripper would take at least minutes to compile a beefy kernel, with
modules from hell, as well as gzip them, and then archive/compress the entire
thing into one tidy package using xz, which I believe is still a single
threaded app.  Sorry but I have to call bullshit on this one.

Life is good,
Maurice
