Slackware 10.0 Officially Released

Posted by simoniker on from the not-so-slack dept.

BRTB writes "Slackware 10.0 is out! X.org 6.7.0, kernel 2.4.26 (2.6.7 optional), KDE 3.2.3, GNOME 2.6.1, GCC 3.3.4... it's all new, and just as stable as you'd expect from Slackware, if RC2 was any indication. There's an official announcement, as well as some ISO BitTorrent links, and a mirror list. Of course, the non-cheapskates among us should go buy the CD-set to support the project. Have fun, everybody..."

    Unless you're really willing to get your hands dirty up front, and if you really are a n00b with Linux I wouldn't recomment Slackware as your first distro....

    Try some more user-friendly distros such as RH, SuSE, Mandrake or other...

  2. Why slackware? by deviantonline · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Ive always wondered what was so special about slackware. Ive never actually tried it myself (Ive only ever used Mandrake and Redhat, favoring Mandrake over the two), so I dont know what slackware is all about.

    Ive noticed that people seem to hold slackware in a high respect and I just wanted to know what makes it different from the rest.
