Diciamo che più che essere arrivata ha iniziato la strada...

The long development process of Slackware Linux 11.0 is about to conclude - that's according to Patrick Volkerding who has declared the "current" tree as RC1: "There are still a few changes yet to happen, but let's call this Slackware 11.0 release candidate 1."

Una curiosità, sapete perchè Volkerding ha deciso di usare come kernel predefinito ancora il 2.4?
Ho cercato in giro ma non sono riuscito a trovare nulla che spiegasse il motivo di questa scelta...

A parte Slackware 11, vi risulta ci siano altre distro "nuove" che continuano ad usare questa versione del kernel?

Slackware ora installa subito anche kernel 2.6.16.23 basta sceglierlo dalla lista dei kernel installabili .

RC3

Fri Aug 25 04:35:22 CDT 2006
Here is Slackware 11.0 release candidate 3. I think most of the irresistible
upgrades are in here now, and the bug reports have been mostly handled.
There may still be a few changes, and possibly another release candidate,
but this is pretty close to final with the exception of updating
documentation and building ZipSlack. Thanks very much to everyone who is
helping to test these release candidates -- I think this is going to be a
very up to date and stable release. :-)

e non solo:

After much thought and consultation with developers, it has been decided to
move 2.6.17.x out of /testing and into /extra. It runs stable by all reports,
has better wireless support, and is not going to be stale as soon. In
addition, HIGHMEM4G has been enabled. This caused no problems with my old
486 with 24MB (the one I use for compiling KDE ;-), and Tomas Matejicek has
enabled this in SLAX for a long time with no reports of problems, so I
believe it is a safe option (and is needed by many modern machines).

dunque:

extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-generic-2.6.17.11-i486-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 generic kernel.
extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-headers-2.6.17.11-i386-1.tgz:
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel headers.
extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-modules-2.6.17.11-i486-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel modules.
Load PC speaker support in rc.modules. Thanks to NetrixTardis.
extra/linux-2.6.17.11/kernel-source-2.6.17.11-noarch-1.tgz
Upgraded to Linux 2.6.17.11 kernel source.

Personalmente uso slack current sul portatile da ben due anni e sul fisso dal febbraio 2003 (mitica Slack 9.0)

mai in problema!!
