Hey folks, here's that graphics stack upgrade that you've been waiting for!
After looking at what drivers are currently shipped by other projects, I took
an axe to the driver list. Some of the removed drivers will still compile even
though they are abandoned, and some of the others are still getting git commits
(which allows *some* of them to compile). The removed stuff mostly looks
obsolete to me (we really can't support ancient hardware forever). But if you
think I've gone too far with any of these removals, please make or contribute
to a thread about it on LQ and I'll take any comments there into consideration.

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. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
Have fun! :-)
