NEW • Development Release: Slackware Linux 12.0 RC2 |
| The development of Slackware Linux 12.0 has reached a release candidate 2 state - that's according to this message found in the latest ChangeLog: "This might as well be called 12.0 RC2 so that we're not accused on skimping on release candidates. ;-) Still going through various reports, and (especially) looking into getting the php.ini defaults reasonable (as well as figuring out which features can be safely built as extensions). But, we're getting there." Some of the changes since RC1 include: kernel (and glibc) recompile with a slightly modified configuration file, upgrade to K3b 1.0.2 and Amarok 1.4.6, miscellaneous minor changes to udev, pkgtools, kernel drivers, etc. As usual, Slackware does not provide official development CDs or DVDs, but interested beta testers can download the entire Slackware current tree from one of these mirrors and create an ISO images by following these instructions. Happy testing! |
