Slackware [12.1] Release Announcement
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.

First look at Slackware Linux 12.1
,----[ Quote ]
| All these points hint at an excellent (if not perfect) server and -- with a
| few tweaks and an occasional trip to one of the third-party Slackware
| repositories (see our Slackware page for a list) -- a fairly decent desktop
| system, especially for those who already know a thing or two about Linux.
| Slackware Linux also remains a great base system for custom solutions, as
| demonstrated by the many Slackware-based distributions that exists on the
| market. But overall, it's a mixed bag - a solid, stable and well-tested
| operating system, but clearly designed for the more knowledgeable user (or a
| user willing to learn) than the average Joe.
