I know this distro is based apparently on Slackware, but compared to Ubuntu, how up to date are things here? I hear though don't have verification of this, that Slackware uses very very old libraries, etc. I'd be very willing to try Slint, but I just want to make sure the packages are up to date, and not using old legacy stuff.


Chris.

Hello,

The new testing ISO pre Slint64-14.2.1.2 is now available.

Visit http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/
especially:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/README-14.2.1.2
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/README.testing

What's new? As mentioned in the ChangeLog:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/ChangeLog

- The installer should now better handle speech and sound cards probing.
- New kernel, version 4.19.24, in the installer as in the installed
   system.
- New feature of the installer: it can now auto-partition a device if
   dedicated to Slint.
- Updated and enhanced documentation, in this website as in the
   installed system.

The documentation in:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/doc/ has been
expanded and is also available in the installed system.

The sighted can click on the Slint Dashboard => Information and
all users just type in a console or a terminal:
slint-doc
to access the documentation through a ncurses menu.

There shouldn't be much changes in the definitive ISO, but translation
of the yet in English only new texts in the installer and possibly a few
packages upgrades, unless tests show issues that should be fixed.

I will make available to the translators the new messages to translate
tomorrow.

Please test and report your findings, preferably in the mailing list:
http://slint.fr/mailman/listinfo/slint_slint.fr

Best,

Didier
