Slackware 10 is out!

(1/1)

udaki:
Yay!topic said above.i need you to say if this is good enough for getting?

WMD:
Niiice!
Though I'm no longer an avid user of it (I might again, someday), I've always loved Slack.  It's fast, solid, and is *actually* lighter on resources *gives Fedora and Mandrake a funny look*.

Slashdot article:

The highlights are:
kernel 2.4.26 (2.6.7 as alternate)
GCC 3.3.4
Gnome 2.6.1
KDE 3.2.3
X.Org server
Mozilla 1.7

Kudos to Pat for sticking with 2.4 for now - 2.6 still isn't really ready, plus Slack is fast enough already  

Refalm:

I thought that X.org stuff was going to create problems or something. But it didn't. Instead, it was actually better.

xorg.conf is one of the most clearest conf file's I've ever seen. Tweaking it for the nVidia driver, was helluva easy. And xorgcfg doesn't create errors, while xf86cfg made X crash when I restarted X.

I hope more distributions pick up X.org, because it's really working well, if not better than XFree86.
