DistroWatch Expands - New Slackware Page |
 |
I started with the expansion of the site. Each distribution will now get its own page with more detailed information, while the main page will simply contain the latest news and the main distribution comparison table. This table will compare the latest official releases. In case of Slackware, this means version 7.1 as can be found it the boxed version shipped in June 2000. For the so called "current" release and previous releases, please go the Slackware page. All distribution hyperlinks now point to their pages on this website, rather than to their respective home pages. Slackware page is the first one up (thanks to all Slackware users who were the most active in contributing the corrections and suggestions) and other pages will follow soon. Have fun!
