Slackware 13.1 BETA1

Slackware has announced Slackware 13.1 BETA1, as seen in the May 6, 2010 entry in the slackware-current changelog. "Hi folks! We have some pretty big changes today, with an update to the latest KDE SC 4.4.3, and the addition of support for ConsoleKit and PolicyKit which have been enhanced to use shadow authentication. Thanks to Andrew Psaltis for doing some great work on polkit-1, and to Robby Workman for spending months following the sometimes random developments coming from the CK/PK camp. :-) Thanks to Eric Hameleers for leading the KDE 4.4.x Slackware development and handling the out-of-tree testing through http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/. And with that, we're calling this Slackware 13.1 BETA1. A stable release should be just around the corner..."

Cool :-)

Looks like this has now also randr 1.3, so I can have virtual screens again without hacks :-)

I've always had a virtual screen with Fluxbox, and have no problems, but am not using compiz.
