Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the come-a-long-way dept.

CCFreak2K writes "Slackware 11 has been officially released, just over a year after Slackware 10.2 became available. Software available with Slackware 11 includes KDE 3.5, Mozilla Seamonkey 1.0.5 and X11R6 6.9. As usual, ISOs are available through BitTorrent and FTPs, packages can be synced through FTPs, and you can always buy a copy."

    The FAQs on Slackware www pages are so outdated that it is ridiculous. An example:

    Q: My large (> 1/2 gig) IDE drive reports more than 16 heads, and as a result Linux won't install on it. What can I do?
    A: See the file /docs/mini/Large-IDE for instructions on how to make it work. (Thanks to Bob DiMarco for forwarding this to me, and Patrick LoPresti for compiling the information in the first place). Note that newer kernels (> 1.1.40) will do this translation for you automatically, and thus make the workaround unnecessary.
