Yes folks, 'tis the season to announce a new release of Slackware. With a
shiny new kernel, many package updates, and the newly added ability to
install from a Samba share, we bring to you the latest in the stable
Slackware 12.x series. Slackware 12.2 ships with the 2.6.27.7 Linux kernel,
the Xorg 1.4.2 X server (with many driver, library, and application
updates), Xfce 4.4.3, KDE 3.5.10, simplified wired and wireless networking
with wicd in /extra, package upgrade management with slackpkg moved into the
main tree, support for non-usb-storage digital cameras through libgphoto2,
pm-utils (tools to support suspend and hibernate through HAL), and much,
much more. This release brings the system up-to-date without compromising
stability or compatibility with the 12.x series.
More details may be found in the *official
announcement*<http://slackware.com/announce/12.2.php>.
