It's true! Slackware 13.37 has been released. Nearly a year in the making,
you will appreciate the performance and stability that can only come with
careful and rigorous testing. Slackware 13.37 uses the 2.6.37.6 Linux kernel
(hence our new $SLACKWARE_VERSION.$KERNEL_VERSION naming system used for this
release ;-), and also ships with 2.6.38.4 kernels for those who want to run the
latest (and also includes configuration files for 2.6.35.12 and 2.6.39-rc4). The long-awaited
Firefox 4.0 web browser is included, the X Window System has been upgraded
(and includes the open source nouveau driver for nVidia cards). The venerable
Slackware installer has been improved as well, with support for installing to
btrfs (for those who would like to try a new copy on write filesystem), a one-package-per-line display mode
option, and alienBOB's big surprise: an easy to set up PXE install server that runs
right off the DVD!
That's right, another stable release of Slackware is finally ready to go. Slackware 13.1 is available in both 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86_64 editions, and brings with it many major improvements, like KDE SC version 4.4.3, the 2.6.33.4 Linux kernel, a new toolchain, updated libraries, and major applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird.
Slackware for ARM
Slackware has a new official port for the ARM architecture, by the name of ARMedslack, which has recently released the port of Slackware version 12.2.
ARMedslack began in 2002 by Stuart Winter, with the primary goal of providing a full Slackware port for ARM desktop machines - initially targeting the Acorn StrongARM RiscPC, and later embedded devices.
Slackware ARM now supports native installation using the regular Slackware installer on the ARM Versatile board (via the QEMU emulator) and the recently announced embedded device: the Marvell SheevaPlug
Slackware ARM version 12.2 is built for armv4, little endian, "legacy" ABI. A new port to the EABI is already underway and expected to be available in "-current" form within a few months.
