Subject: Exciting Twist on Slackware – ZombieSlack

Hi Eric,

I came across your post about the current state of Slashdot and the 
community's engagement with tech news. I completely share your 
sentiments, especially regarding the decreased release rate of Slackware.

In light of this, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: 
ZombieSlack. It’s a modification of Slackware 15.0, crafted using tools I 
developed that enable unique installation and boot capabilities.

ZombieSlack Features

    Installation Flexibility: ZombieSlack is made from an existing 
Slackware installation, allowing it to reside on and boot from a flash 
drive. Unlike traditional Live distros, it offers persistence through a 
different method.

    Boot Compatibility: It’s not only versatile on different PC hardware 
but also designed to enhance the user experience.

    Live to Zombie Transformation: My tools allow for on-the-fly 
conversion of a booted LiveSlak to Zombie-LiveSlak, adding features and 
persistence without a complete re-installation.

I call it ZombieSlack because it's neither a dead, traditional distro nor 
a live system—it's an exciting middle ground! I believe it has potential 
to breathe new life into the Slackware experience for those looking for 
something fresh.

If you’re interested, I’d love to discuss it further and hear your 
thoughts!

Best,
Joseph Rosevear
