Slackware 13.1 Wed May 19 08:58:23 UTC 2010 Slackware 13.1 x86_64 stable is released! Lots of thanks are due -- see the RELEASE_NOTES and the rest of the ChangeLog for credits. The ISOs are on their way to replication, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. We are taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com, and offering a discount if you sign up for a subscription. Consider picking up a copy to help support the project. Thanks again to the Slackware community for testing, contributing, and generally holding us to a high level of quality. :-) Enjoy!

Slackware 14.2 Thu Jun 30 20:26:57 UTC 2016 Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released! The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in "interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to announce the release of Slackware 14.2. The new release brings many updates and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds well over a hundred new packages to the system. Thanks to the team, the upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else who pitched in to help make this release a reality. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.

a long-term support for two years helped to cement this decision
and should be good news for anyone wanting to keep a maintained
stable kernel on their system. As usual, the kernel is provided in
two flavors, generic and huge. The huge kernel contains enough built-in
drivers that in most cases an initrd is not needed to boot the system.
The generic kernels require the use of an initrd to load the kernel
modules needed to mount the root filesystem. Using a generic kernel
will save some memory and possibly avoid a few boot time warnings.
On the 32-bit side of things, there are both SMP (multiple processor
capable) and non-SMP (single processor) kernels. The non-SMP kernel
is mostly intended for machines that can't run the SMP kernel, which
is anything older than a Pentium III, and some models of the Pentium M

that don't support PAE (although it seems that these might support PAE
but just lack the CPU flags to advertise it -- try booting with the
"forcepae" kernel option). On 32-bit, it is highly recommended to use

.config files for Linux 4.6 in the /testing/source/ directory.
Slackware 14.2 has support for systems running UEFI firmware (x86_64
Slackware edition only). Packages that help support UEFI include elilo,
GRUB 2, and efibootmgr, and all of the installation media supports
booting under UEFI, as do the USB boot sticks generated during
installation. At this point there is no support for running the system
under Secure Boot, but a dedicated user could add their own Machine Owner
Key, sign their kernels, modules, and bootloader, and then use shim to
start the bootloader. Documentation for installing on UEFI machines is
provided in a README_UEFI.TXT found in the top-level Slackware directory.

Slackware ISO images (both the ones available online as well as
the discs sent out from the Slackware store) have been processed using
isohybrid. This allows them to be written to a USB stick, which can
then be booted and used as the install source. This works on machines
running both regular BIOS as well as UEFI.

both of these have been split as much as possible into their component
packages rather than larger bundles. This not only makes it easier to
remove software that you don't need, but also makes it easier to
maintain on our end. If something needs a patch, it's a whole lot
easier to issue a patch for only the affected item. This saves storage
space on the archive sites, and your time and bandwidth downloading
the updates.

Heinz Wiesinger for working on PHP, MariaDB (especially!), icu4c, LLVM, and

and helped collaborate on this release. This was another great release
cycle for community participation, especially on the LinuxQuestions.org
Slackware forum. Thanks for the help, for keeping this project fun, and
making it possible for us to keep up with the rapid pace of Linux
development. Thanks to Andrea and Briah, too!
