For many years, Slackware was available on one install CD, but adding KDE to the distribution
made additional CDs necessary.
To help support the project, you can purchase the boxed set of Slackware from http://store
.slackware.com. At the store, you also can get a subscription to Slackware so that the Slackware
Store sends you a new version each time one is released (every six to eight months). The store will
just ship it when it??™s available and charge your credit card. People who like Slackware often pay the
subscription fee just to show their support.
New Features in Slackware 12.0
With Slackware 12.0, the distribution consists of three installation CDs (plus three source code CDs)
and/or a DVD version that holds everything. While still offering a stable foundation (the 2.6.21.5
kernel is used by default), Slackware includes bleeding-edge components for the desktop (KDE
3.5.7 or XFCE 4.4.1) and applications (the latest Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail client).
Here are a couple of applications that were added to Slackware recently that might interest you:
X11 7.2.0??”The X.Org Foundation??™s modular X Window System. This offers improvements
with performance and hardware support.
