URL contains his last message into his channel. Is his health getting better? How is his overall condition?

He replied to a post in the Slackware forum back at the end of January telling folk he had terminal cancer. No idea how things have progressed since then but I know he was already very unwell at that point and I’ve not seen him crop up since that time. I imagine he’s either spending his remaining time with his family or he’s already at rest. Either way, losing Steve is a huge blow to the community. Wish I could have met him and thanked him in person for his videos. They were so helpful to me in the early days of running Slackware.

Let’s hope he and his family stays strong. He also mentioned his lung cancer in the announcement comments.

@PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks does not support community posts. I guess we need to put a PR in for this.

There’s 1 comment (besides this) but I can’t see it and there isn’t a notification in my inbox??!! Strange.

I tried to change from hot to new and old with no luck.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
