In the most recent changelog entry, Patrick Volkerding declares the Slackware "Current" tree, the distribution's development branch, release-candidate quality: "Good
hello and happy Thursday! Mercury went direct early yesterday morning
and it was like the bugs started to fix themselves. It's almost enough
to get me believing in that hocus-pocus nonsense. So, here's a bunch of
updates that fix all of the reported issues in the beta and we'll call
this the 14.0 release candidate 1. Still some updates needed for the
top-level documentation files, but we're clearly in the home stretch now
(finally). Test away, and report any remaining bugs!"
The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an
advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of
use and stability as top priorities. Including the latest popular
software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and
ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the best
of all worlds to the table. Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in
1991, the UNIX-like Linux operating system now benefits from the
contributions of millions of users and developers around the world.
Slackware Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a
fully-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity from desktop
workstation to machine-room server. Web, ftp, and email servers are
ready to go out of the box, as are a wide selection of popular desktop
environments. A full range of development tools, editors, and current
libraries is included for users who wish to develop or compile
additional software.
