Welcome to Slackware 13.37! (64-bit x86_64 edition)
Slackware 13.37 is a complete distribution of the Linux operating system.
Here are some versions of major components of Slackware 13.37:
- Linux kernel 2.6.37.6
2.6.38.4
- C compiler gcc-4.5.2
- Binutils 2.21.51.0.6
- GNU C Library glibc-2.13
- X Window System X11R7.6 + updates
- KDE 4.5.5
- Xfce 4.6.2
For installation instructions, see the file 'Slackware-HOWTO'.
For important hints about this release, see the file 'CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT'.
These are some of the important files and directories found on the Slackware
FTP site:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware64-13.37/
There is also a newer (and faster) primary FTP site for Slackware here:
ftp://slackware.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware64-13.37/
Thanks to cwo.com for continuing to help us with hosting for our web site
and ftp.slackware.com, and to the OSU Open Source Lab for hosting our
archives at slackware.osuosl.org.
If you're reading this on a CD-ROM, these directories will probably be
split across several discs.
