Mon Nov 4 17:08:47 UTC 2013 Slackware 14.1 x86_64 stable is released! It's been another interesting release cycle here at Slackware bringing new features like support for UEFI machines, updated compilers and development tools, the switch from MySQL to MariaDB, and many more improvements throughout 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! :-)

Google Chrome (Open Source Web Browser)

---------------------------------------

Here's how to install Google Chrome on Slackware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, go to the Google Chrome site:
|
|
|
|
http://www.google.com/chrome
|
|
|
|
Click the download button, and select either:
|
|
|
|
< > 32 bit .deb (for Debian/Ubuntu)
|
|
OR
|
|
< > 64 bit .deb (for Debian/Ubuntu)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Read and accept the license terms, and download the .deb package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, with the google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb or
|
|
google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb package in the same directory
|
|
as the google-chrome.SlackBuild script, run the script as root to
|
|
convert the .deb to a Slackware .txz:
|
|
|
|
./google-chrome.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
This will produce a Slackware compatible .txz package. The exact
|
|
version number in the package filename will depend on the version
|
|
of Google Chrome found in the .deb package, but it will be something
|
|
like: google-chrome-10.0.648.151-x86_64-1.txz
|
|
|
|
You'll find the output package in the /tmp directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, install the package (again as root):
|
|
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
upgradepkg --install-new google-chrome-10.0.648.151-x86_64-1.txz
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy! :-)
