Slackware 11.0 Almost Done

linuxbeta writes "DistroWatch reports that the development process for Slackware Linux 11.0 is almost over. OSDir has some sweet shots of Slackware 11.0 RC1 in the Slackware 11.0 RC1 Screenshot Tour." From the article: "'There are still a few changes yet to happen, but let's call this Slackware 11.0 release candidate 1.' Other recent changes include upgrade to stable kernel 2.4.33; upgrade to udev 097, and rebuild of glibc 2.3.6 for both 2.4.33 and 2.6.16.27 kernels. The new release will ship with X.Org 6.9.0 and KDE 3.5.4, and will provide SeaMonkey instead of Mozilla."

RE:["Like we need to see EVERY screen during the install."]

i guess you can install slackware with your eyes closed... get a life troll, some people rather use slackware than any other distro...

Re:2.4 kernel? WTF

I don't see what the fuss is about a distro using LILO instead of GRUB. It's a frickin bootloader for goodness sake. I've got systems that use both (I'll take GRUB over LILO if it's an auto-install - if I have to configure by hand I'll go with LILO as a know it better).

Ideally though, you will only see the program on a reboot (which is likely not often unless you dual boot). Even then all it's gonna do is throw up a menu where you choose which OS you want.
