Slackware 12.0 is released; it is time to get your Slack on:-)

slackware 9.0 was the second version of linux I used. If nothing else, slackware taught me how to configure X. With version 9, you had to configure it yourself(maybe it is still that way).

I just read, this is the first version of Slackware to use a default 2.6 kernel, WOW.

Yes, you still need to configure X yourself ( you can use xorgsetup to automatically assign settings, but I prefer xorgconfig).

Yep, slack 12.0 is now running 2.6.21.5. I installed a 2.6x kernel in 10.2 and 11.0, but, that was a bit of a PITA. My 3 install CDs are downloaded, burned for 12.0. Going to install tomorrow, it is getting late:-)

I've left my bit torrent client uploading tonight for all of you slackers out there:-)

I love slack.

Slackware is a bit more difficult to use than Ubuntu.

You can buy Slackware disks at the Slackware store on-line if you like, Marty.

Before you try-out Slackware I would read the Slack book which you can see at the Slackware website. Slackware does not use a graphical interface to install, you will set-up your system at the command line with your keyboard and edit text files to configure your system.

I am not trying to discourage you Marty, just letting you know what you're in for.
