Slackware 10.0 Officially Released

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..."

Migrating from SUSE 9.1

[sjwaste]

Any recommendations out there on how to move from SUSE 9.1 to Slack 10.0? I recently started using Linux again. The previous was Slack 4.0 or something like that. Really old, 5 years ago. I always liked Slackware back then and would like to go back to it, really just for the sake of doing it. Rather than blowing out my linux partition and restarting, is there a way I could migrate?

You know, I've recently felt nostalgic about the good old days when Linux was harder then necessary, I tried to install RedHat 5.2 on a 486 with 16MB RAM - it worked, but it cost me a day and made me appreciate all the improvements that Linux has gained in the last 6-7 years.

What exactly do you hope to gain by switching to Slackware besides the reduced usability? Doing it just for nostalgia's sake may not be the best reason (unless you really do have time to waste).

Last I check that was only if you picked KDE if you didn't it's only a one CD install.

Gentoo is for ricers.

And Linux, actually, in general.
