Slackware 13.37slackware-13.37
Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011
Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released!
Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team,
the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing
a great forum for collaboration and testing.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a
dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions,
and feedback. :-)
Have fun!
