Kernel 2.6.33 and KDE SC 4.4.3, those are not really old. Kubuntu has older software.

Is the new Slackware still Slackware?

If you mean the Slackware that is known for solid stability as well as being fast, then YES! I've been a Slacker since 97' and have stayed with it to this date. Installation and configuration is still the same with a much improved KDE-4.4 desktop environment along with others to choose from.

Enjoy!

Still running Slack 12.2 with KDE 3.5.10 here, since KDE 4 hasn't been all that stable and complete yet.

"Is the new Slackware still Slackware?"

Are you serious? Slackware has always shipped the latest stable versions of software unless there was/is a compelling reason not to.
