Noryungi's Journal: Slackware 13-RC2 and other news.

Everything is in the title: Slackware 13 is now in RC2 (has been since last week in fact), and will probably be released soon. The Official Slackware Changelog is, as usual, your best source of information.

The interesting information is that ARM and x86-64 are now official ports. Great to see Slackware evolve and become even more awesome!

I hope 13.0 will be out soon, so that I can install it on my eeePC 701 to replace Debian (and forget the mess that was NetBSD 5.0 on this platform).

Some links fellow Slackware fans may find interesting when installing Slackware on an Asus eeePC :

• Slackee (see also these entries in the EeeUser forum)
• The Slackware on eeePC page, with somewhat similar information.

Also, I have added several entries to my wiki, especially in the Solaris section.

I was also able to obtain an account on Freeshell / SDF, which I probably am going to use someday to publish some software I programmed.

That's all for now. More later!
