I'll mention a few technical items here. Slackware's userspace does
require a recent 2.6.x kernel (I believe 2.6.27.x is a minimum for
udev), and as usual unless your needs are specific you're probably
better off running the included kernels that we've tested things
against. The best kernel to run (even on a one CPU/core machine) is the
generic SMP one, but that needs an initrd, so be sure to read the
instructions in /boot after installing with a huge* kernel if you plan

to switch. We have chosen to use the 2.6.37.6 kernel after testing the
2.6.37.x kernel branch extensively (and because there are still a few
things that work in 2.6.37.x but not in 2.6.38.x). But, for those who
would like to run the latest kernel, there are 2.6.38.4 kernels included
in /testing. Also in the /testing/source/ directory you'll find config
files for two other kernel versions, 2.6.35.12 (which is a longterm
supported branch), and 2.6.39-rc4, a release candidate for
the next major kernel series.

Need more build scripts? Something that you wanted wasn't included
in Slackware? Well, then check out slackbuilds.org. Several of the team
members work on the scripts there.
Thanks to the rest of the team (and other contributors) for the
great help -- Eric Hameleers for major work on the KDE SC packages, init
scripts, installer, documentation, and all the extra packages like
multilib compilers (read more here: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/),
Robby Workman for following X.Org, udev, wicd, xfce, and tons of other
projects, building and testing all that stuff, writing documentation,
his work with the team at slackbuilds.org, and lots of package upgrades

(like the switch to the bluez4 bluetooth stack), Piter Punk for udev and
slackpkg work, Stuart Winter for more updates to linuxdoc-tools, slacktrack,
and for all kinds of fixes throughout the installer and system (he finds my
bugs all the time while porting packages to ARM for the ARMedslack port:
http://www.armedslack.org/), Alan Hicks for testing the installer on Apple
hardware, Vincent Batts for keeping Ruby working well (difficult!) and other
miscellaneous fixes, Heinz Wiesinger for PHP (and other) fixes,

and anyone else I'm forgetting (including the other team members who
contributed little fixes and suggestions here and there along with
general moral support), and all the folks who emailed in bug reports
(and especially fixes). Thanks for the technical assistance (*you* make

course, thanks *much* to the upstream developers for such nice building
