Pat unleashed Slackware 11.0 tonight, with an official announcement. Xfce 4.2.3.2, a lightweight and fast desktop environment is now available along with KDE. Still included is the tried and true 2.4.33.3 kernel, with an available 2.6.17.13 or 2.6.18 kernel in /testing. Here’s a mini changelog detailing some of the changes from 10.2 to 11.0, including what packages have been added or removed, and other changes that would explain why you’re stuck.

Be sure to get the ISO’s through BitTorrent, and seed while you can.
