It´s called linuxpackages.net now.

Hey, thanks Ursidae. This is what I've been looking for -- but I didn't (and don't) make a connection between Slackware and Mafia 8)

Their name did kick ass. I think they got stuck in the crossfire in the war on terrorism. Maybe the war on drugs thought they were the real mafia. War on communism maybe? Hell, lets just settle for the War on Linuxmafia.net. :-P

http://www.linuxmafia.org/

Still exists. It's .org

[Compunuts]

Yeap and http://www.linuxmafia.com also exist... So I'm sure it's not the name that's the problem.....

Linuxmafia.org will no longer be dedicated to slackpacks. A quote from the site:

This site will more or less become my personal soap box to stand on and slam on various people or companies in the linux community. I think the name is more suited for this type of forum anyway.

Linuxpackages.net will be the "new" linuxmafia.org.

Have linuxmafia.net ever existed? I´m not sure. Can´t remember.

I wonder how anyone can have a problem with the name *:

yep .. linuxmafia.net existed .. but it went down .. i didnt know that you meant the slack pack central .. sorry

Hmm.. What was on linuxmafia.net? I just saw gmoreno ask about linuxmafia so I instantly thought "Slackpacks!".
