Slackware is the first widely-used Linux system, which is still developing. Slackware has existed since 1993. In comparison with for example Ubuntu and Linux Mint, many people believe that Slackware is “difficult”. Any novice can quickly learn to use Ubuntu they say. My remaster of Slackware Current (14.2), which I call SlackEX 14.2/Current 64 bit Linux Live DVD, is however just as easy to use as Ubuntu and/or Linux Mint. Some tend to complain that the Program Management in Slackware is awkward. That was perhaps earlier the case, but not anymore. Now we have the Application Managers Slackpkg and GSlapt – a GTK version of slapt-get. They are a piece of cake to use! Users of Synaptic will feel at ease with GSlapt.
NEWS ABOUT SlackEX Build 201112 with the Enlightenment 0.24.2 Desktop
A new extra version of SlackEX is ready. In this version I’ve replaced Xfce4 with Enlightenment 0.24.2 – latest version. I’ve also replaced kernel 5.9.1-exton with kernel is 5.9.6-exton. This version of SlackEX is unique. You can’t find another Linux system with the latest Enlightenment version. When installing version 0.24.2 I followed the instructions here. The whole thing was very time consuming since a lot of dependencies had to be satisfied. All other packages from SlackEX Build 201105 remain. Most important Refracta Snapshot so you can build your own Slackware distro with Enlightenment 0.24.2. Study the full package LIST. Read about Enlightenment 0.24.2 features.
