Slackware Linux 10.2 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everyone-remembers-their-first dept.

excelblue writes "Slackware Linux 10.2 has finally been released. This release comes with Linux 2.4.31, with 2.6.13 available in the testing packages and glibc 2.3.5. This time, they've decided to get up with times and switch to Firefox, Thunderbird, and subversion instead of using the Mozilla suite and cvs from the previous distros. Here are Torrents of ISO images."

    a "my distro is cooler than yours" dick-waving contest!

    You mean you came to slashdot expecting something else?

    Anyway, stories about a particular distro or piece of software always promote the software in question. The cinelerra story described it as the best linux video program, firefox stories often call it the best open source web browser (even though that's patently not true, IMO) etc.

    Pat's done an excellent job keeping Slackware fast and stable, but it's a shame he didn't put an equal premium on flexibility. As someone that just feels most comfortable in GNOME, the unfortunate fact is that Slackware can't even be a consideration for my primary desktop.
