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."

Granted, I don't use Slackware. But when I saw a link stating "Slackware Screen Shot Tour", I fully expected to see a bunch of shell prompts :-P I wasn't entirely wrong!

Am I missing something here?

Well, besides that its KDE, I dont think so.

Re:Screenshots?

Why do I need screenshots? It's Gnome.

and still you failed to see that it's not a Gnome, it's KDE. Maybe few more screenshots would help?

I choose my linux distro (read: flavor of the month) based upon screenshots, and the pure number of fanboys. That is why I am Ubuntu until I die (or until the lemmings march themselves into the water), and I have to choose a new distro, 'til I die.
