Slackware 9 Unleashed to World

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the bob-dobbs-and-patrick-v dept.

kiltedtaco writes "Slackware Linux 9.0 is out! Based on gcc 3.2, and equipped with kernel 2.4.20 (ptrace-patched), XFree86 4.3, GNOME 2.2 and KDE 3.1. You can read the full announcement, or just go grab a copy for yourself at either the Slackware Store or these lovely mirrors." I know a lot of people who first cut their teeth on Slack when trying Linux. It's cool to see that it's still around.

    didn't want to post it to Slashdot until I got it all downloaded :).

    I had a suspicion that a few people might be doing that... In my case, since I've been enjoying using Slack for so long now, I'm putting up some of my dollars for an "official" copy for once. I reckon Patrick richly deserves it.

    Because Enlightenment is a bloaty, buggy piece of shit and Slackware is a high-quality distribution.
