Slackware 14

Published by Robert Pogson September 29th, 2012 in technology. 25 Comments

Slackware 14 has been released and www.slackware.com is hammered. Try mirrors instead.

The .iso is 2.2gB.

Slackware was one of my early distros. It has very simple package-management but it works.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
