Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable!  Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits.  The ISOs are off to the replicator.  This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project.  Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy!  -P.

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

netdate: netdate (simple network time utility)
netdate:
netdate: Netdate takes a list of names of Internet hosts as arguments, selects
netdate: the one which supplies the best time, and sets the system time
netdate: accordingly. The invoker must be the super-user for the time to be
netdate: set. Protocol names (either udp or tcp) may be interspersed with the
netdate: host names, and determine the protocol which will be used to connect
netdate: to the hosts whose names follow, up to the next protocol name or the
netdate: end of the arguments. The default protocol is udp.

netdate: These days, "ntpdate" is probably a better choice.
