Development Release: Slackware Linux 13.37 RC2
The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities. Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the best of all worlds to the table. Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991, the UNIX-like Linux operating system now benefits from the contributions of millions of users and developers around the world. Slackware Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a fully-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity from desktop workstation to machine-room server. Web, ftp, and email servers are ready to go out of the box, as are a wide selection of popular desktop environments. A full range of development tools, editors, and current libraries is included for users who wish to develop or compile additional software.
Patrick Volkerding, the founder and maintainer of the world's oldest surviving Linux distribution, has updated the Slackware Linux "Current" changelog with the following words: "Slackware 13.37 release candidate 2 is ready for testing. Are we almost there?" This comes just one week after the first release candidate. During this time we have seen updates to the just-released Linux kernel 2.6.37.4, Subversion 1.6.16 (fixed a remotely triggerable NULL-pointer dereference in mod_dav_svn), Pidgin 2.7.11 (fixed denials of service caused by NULL pointer dereferences due to improper handling of malformed YMSG packets), Emacs 23.3, Audacious 2.4.4, various bug-fixes, library rebuilds and security updates. Please refer to the complete changelog for additional details.
