Announcing Slackware Linux 11!

[Chris]

The first Slackware release more than a year in the making, this

edition of Slackware combines Slackware's legendary simplicity,

stability, and security with some of the latest advances in Linux

technology. Expect no less than the best Slackware yet.

Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll

find two of the most advanced desktop environments available today:

Xfce 4.2.3.2, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easy

to use desktop environment, and KDE 3.5.4, the latest version of the

award-winning K Desktop Environment.

Slackware uses the 2.4.33.3 kernel bringing you advanced performance

features such as the ReiserFS journaling filesystem, SCSI and ATA RAID

volume support, SATA support, and kernel support for X DRI (the Direct

Rendering Interface) that brings high-speed hardware accelerated 3D

graphics to Linux. Additional kernels allow installing Slackware

using any of the journaling filesystems available for Linux, including

ext3, ReiserFS, IBM's JFS, and SGI's XFS. Slackware 11.0 also fully

supports the 2.6 kernel series, with your choice of the well-tested

2.6.17.13 kernel in /extra (including a version of this kernel that

supports multiple processors, multi-core CPUs, HyperThreading, and

about every other optimization available), or the recently released

2.6.18 kernel in /testing. This kernel also spent a long time in

development and in our own testing has proven to be fast, stable,

and reliable.
