Slackware 10.2

I can't wait for the next Slackware 10.2 release which i don't know for sure when it will be released, but i'm pretty sure that it will be released this year. Some news site has reported that Patrick will release it this year. I have asked him once, but he replies "It will be released when it is ready". For me, "Ready" means stable and yes, it is one of the most stable distro i have ever tried. One problem that exists until now is the udev packages. Packages 0.6x is having trouble with the ALSA issues, so it is downgraded to 0.58. If it isn't stable yet, Patrick will use 0.54 version for the next release of Slackware Linux. You can see it from the Changelog

  3. Right now is the freeze phase, just like the Changelog said and Patrick is testing the 10.2 release right now. I hope this august or September the final version will be available.

  4. What do you mean by Beta version?
    i didn't see any link to the Beta version in the official websites?

    I'm using the current version, so it shouldn't be so different with the upcoming 10.2 release, since i always update my packages using current version :)
