Patrick Volkerding has announced that Slackware "Current", the distribution's development branch, has become release candidate 1 for the upcoming Slackware Linux 13.37: "Hey folks, I think it's time for Slackware 13.37 (hopefully this helps to make up for our lack of code names) release candidate 1! After a lot of testing and consideration, we've decided to go with the recently released 2.6.37.3 Linux kernel which seems to work best for X, contains support for Speakup, and looks like a better kernel branch to be using as we move forward. Please test so we can have a stable release soon." Other major components of the distribution include glibc 2.13, GCC 4.5.2, X.Org Server 1.9.4, KDE 4.5.5 and Xfce 4.6.2. Read the full changelog for further details. As always, there are no official installation CD or DVD images available for download, but recent unofficial builds (built on 8 March) can be downloaded from here (MD5): slackware-current-08_Mar_2011-DVD.iso (2,042MB), slackware64-current-08_Mar_2011-DVD.iso (2,001MB). |
