 We are proud to announce that Slackware Linux
version 11.0 has been finally released; it took some time but is well worth the
wait. You can read the
official
announcement at this link.
Slackware 11.0 contains the 2.4.33.3 Linux kernel,
2.6.17.13 in /extra and 2.6.18 in the /testing directory; the default boot
option is the dependable 2.4.33.3 kernel, but this time we included more choices
and support for 2.6.x kernels.
This Slackware version is by far the most cutting edge ever released,
it includes KDE version 3.5.4 (including the Amarok media player), XFCE 4.2.3.2,
the latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, plus SeaMonkey 1.0.5 (replacing
the Mozilla suite). It also includes glibc-2.3.6, gcc-3.4.6, X11R6.9.0 from
X.Org, and more!
Due to the overwhelming number of changes in this release, we have added a
CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT file which contains information on the evolution of
slackware-current. This should prove useful for users upgrading to
slackware-11.0. To order your copy of Slackware Linux (available on CD-ROMs and
DVD this time) or some other Slackware goodies
visit our store. You'll be helping to
support the continued efforts of the the Slackware Linux Project.
As always, ISO images are available through
BitTorrent but you can also download them from any
official Slackware
Mirror or from
these other mirror sites.
Thanks to everyone who helped to make this new release of Slackware possible,
the mirror administrators, and to a fine group of friends on irc.oftc.net for
their help with Slackware development, this site, and the BitTorrents!
Have fun!
Pat, and the Slackware team
