Slackware 12.0 Release Candidate 1Slackware 12.0 Release Candidate 1Posted Jun 18, 2007 15:18 UTC (Mon) by Alan_Hicks (subscriber, #20469)In reply to: Slackware 12.0 Release Candidate 1 by aleXXX Parent article: Slackware 12.0 Release Candidate 1
There's been a lot of changes. In addition to dropping support for 2.4 kernels, updating the entire toolchain, and bringing in all the latest versions of things, a lot of old "kruft" has been dropped. GTK+ 1.x is no longer supported (so things like xmms have been dropped), and we're now using modular X. A lot of packages have been split up (for instance, the old bin package has now been split into a great many different packages, one for each utility that was included) making it easier to trim down a Slackware install. This is somewhat of a nuisance to some one who wants to step through the install and remove only a handful of packages, but should make things a lot easier for people running very minimal systems.
