Slackware 12.1 is released!<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.slackware.org/">http://www.slackware.org/</a><br>
<br>
Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release
again. So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.1!
Since we've moved to supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and
fine-tuned the system to get the most out of it), we feel that
Slackware 12.1 has many improvements over our last release (Slackware
12.0) and is a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user.
<p> Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements,
you'll find better support for RAID, LVM, and cryptsetup; a network
capable (FTP and HTTP, not only NFS) installer; and two of the most
advanced desktop environments available today: Xfce 4.4.2, a fast,
lightweight, and visually appealing desktop environment, and KDE 3.5.9,
the latest 3.x version of the full-featured K Desktop Environment. </p>
<p> The <a href="http://www.slackware.org/announce/12.1.php">official
announcement</a> has more details. Also please consider helping to
support the project financially at <a href="http://store.slackware.com">http://store.slackware.com</a>
(the CD set and DVD are off to replication, but pre-orders are being
taken now). Your kind support and the help of many volunteers is what
makes this project possible. Huge thanks are due to everybody who
pitched in and helped with bug reports, patches, testing, suggestions,
other comments, and everything else. Without this valuable input,
Slackware would be nowhere near what it is today. Special thanks to the
CREW, to the people developing and testing for <a
href="http://slackbuilds.org">slackbuilds.org</a> (where many of
Slackware's future additions are first built and tested), and to
everyone on linuxquestions.org, various #slackware or ##slackware IRC
channels, other Slackware related web sites, and other places where the
community shares their needs and concerns with the team. On behalf of
everyone here, thanks. We think you'll enjoy this new release, and hope
that you'll find it to be much more than 0.1 better than Slackware
12.0. ;-) </p>
<p> Have fun! </p>
<p> Pat and the Slackware team</p>
