Slackware 12.1 is released! Tuesday, June 10, 2008 @ 14:42:10 AST by meshal (239 reads)
The Oldest & the Greatest Linux distribution, Slackware 12.1 has been
released.
Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release again.
So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.1! Since we've moved to
supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and fine-tuned the system to get
the most out of it), we feel that Slackware 12.1 has many improvements over our
last release (Slackware 12.0) and is a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user.
Slackware 12.0 is released! Tuesday, July 03, 2007 @ 16:03:47 AST by meshal (1509 reads)
That's right, the first 2.6(.21.5) based Slackware release is ready for
download! We think you'll enjoy the latest kernel, KDE 3.5.7, XFce 4.4.1, HAL
automounting for desktop users, an updated toolchain, and many other
enhancements. The
official
announcement has more details. Also, consider supporting the project at
http://store.slackware.com. Thanks to everyone who contributed improvements and
fixes this time -- a lot of help made this a relatively smooth release.

Fedora Core 6 Review Thursday, October 26, 2006 @ 13:09:21 AST by meshal (1102 reads)
I had pretty high expectations for Fedora Core 6
and in some ways they were met. FC 6 certainly is one of the best looking
distro’s I have seen, especially for a default installation. Yet, several
smaller issues crept into FC 6 that made me wonder how prepared this release was
for final release. The problems that I encountered with Fedora Core 6 were not
huge issues, but there were enough smaller bugs that made me wonder if this
release was rushed.
Slackware 11.0 is released! Tuesday, October 03, 2006 @ 12:15:29 AST by meshal (923 reads)
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.
