 The newest release of Slackware, version 10.2, is available now. As always,
thanks to all the people who helped make this release possible.
Slackware 10.2 includes the Linux 2.4.31 kernel, with Linux 2.6.13 available
in the /testing directory. For the first time, a 2.6 kernel with support for
SCSI, RAID, and SATA is offered as a boot option in the installer (called
"test26.s"). Slackware 10.2 also sports a new revision of glibc (2.3.5) with
NPTL support for improved thread performance when using a kernel with NPTL
support, the latest KDE 3.4.2 and XFce 4.2.2 desktop environments, updated
development tools, and new additions like SASL support in sendmail, the
Subversion version control system, the Firefox browser, and the Thunderbird
email and news client. For a complete list of changes since Slackware 10.1,
