Patrick Volkerding has announced that Slackware "Current", the distribution's development branch, has become release candidate 1 for the upcoming Slackware Linux 13.37: "Hey
folks, I think it's time for Slackware 13.37 (hopefully this helps to
make up for our lack of code names) release candidate 1! After a lot of
testing and consideration, we've decided to go with the recently
released 2.6.37.3 Linux kernel which seems to work best for X, contains
support for Speakup, and looks like a better kernel branch to be using
as we move forward. Please test so we can have a stable release soon."
Other major components of the distribution include glibc 2.13, GCC
4.5.2, X.Org Server 1.9.4, KDE 4.5.5 and Xfce 4.6.2. Read the full changelog
for further details. As always, there are no official installation CD
or DVD images available for download, but recent unofficial builds
(built on 8 March) can be downloaded from here (MD5): slackware-current-08_Mar_2011-DVD.iso (2,042MB), slackware64-current-08_Mar_2011-DVD.iso (2,001MB).
