Parent article: Slackware 11.0 is released

in some configurations it's a little smaller

but mostly it's warm and fuzzies that it's not changeing significantly while 2.6 is continueing to evolve too rapidly for many people's tastes.

I.e. meaning that v2.4 is much more extensively / tested than any
given v2.6.x version... Doesn't v2.4 (e.g. with commercial OSS
