Eric Hameleers: Slackware does exactly what I want it to do. (The Slack World) [LWN.net]

The Slack World has an interview with Eric Hameleers about the release of Slackware 13.1. "Looking back at the the months before the release of Slackware 13.1, I would say that we wanted to improve 13.0 in a number of aspects and make 13.1 a fairly short development cycle-make it a "bug fix release" as it were. Obviously things went a bit different. There are several exciting updates in Slackware 13.1 which could have justified a 14.0 release instead of the 13.1 point release. A big and visible change is of course the update to KDE Software Compilation 4.4.3 which uses ConsoleKit and PolicyKit. The combination with a very recent kernel and X.Org allow many people to have a pleasant out-of-the-box experience with modern hardware."
