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.

+If you're reading this in /etc/init.d/, Slackware's real init directory is
+/etc/rc.d/.  Maybe you already knew this, but it never hurts to say.  :-)
+
+This script was taken from Fedora (and is presumably licensed under the GPL).
+While I don't see Slackware init scripts making much use of it (but use it
+if you wish), some third party init scripts (such as for commercial software
+designed to run on Red Hat based systems) expect this script and use it in
+their own init scripts, so it's a good idea to make it available here.
+
+These functions are provided solely for commercial (or other) software that
+expects to find "Red Hat-isms".  I wouldn't use them to write new init
+scripts (personally), but if you've had experience with them in the past
+and like them, by all means feel free.
+
+It's planned to continue support for them.
