<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, Saqib. I'm starting my own Linux web site soon,
and once everything is set I'll be able to take Zipspeak 8, and post
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What's the exact size, and I'll see if I'll have
enough room to give it a slot on my ftp server.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry, studies have bogged me down recently - the
second year is certainly harder than the first!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, the main thing that is holding me back
from a public release is finding somewhere to upload it to. I've emailed
Patric Volkerding a few times in the past few months about getting some space
on the Slackware FTP site but I think he's rather busy. There's been a
lot of termoil around Slackware since their parent company dumped them to fend
for themselves. I've been giving CDs of ZipSpeak to people who email me,
but if someone can suggest somewhere with lots of web space let me know.
This brings up another question: are there still a lot of people who prefer
Slackware, or should ZipSpeak be transferred over to RedHat or something -
just an idea based on feedback from users.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just before I go I'd like to ask whether anyone's
had any joys using the 2.4.x kernels with an umsdos
filesystem?</FONT></DIV>
