It's true! Slackware 13.37 has been released. Nearly a year in the making, 
you will appreciate the performance and stability that can only come with 
careful and rigorous testing. Slackware 13.37 uses the 2.6.37.6 Linux 
kernel (hence our new $SLACKWARE_VERSION.$KERNEL_VERSION naming system 
used for this release ;-), and also ships with 2.6.38.4 kernels for those 
who want to run the latest (and also includes configuration files for 
2.6.35.12 and 2.6.39-rc4). The long-awaited Firefox 4.0 web browser is 
included, the X Window System has been upgraded (and includes the open 
source nouveau driver for nVidia cards). The venerable Slackware installer 
has been improved as well, with support for installing to btrfs (for those 
who would like to try a new copy on write filesystem), a 
one-package-per-line display mode option, and alienBOB's big surprise: an 
easy to set up PXE install server that runs right off the DVD!

More details may by found in the official announcement and in the release 
notes. For a complete list of included packages, see the package list.

Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy of 
the Slackware 13.37 release from the Slackware Store. The discs are off to 
replication, but we're accepting pre-orders for the official 6 CD set and 
the DVD. The CD set is the 32-bit x86 release, while the DVD is a 
dual-sided disc with the 32-bit x86 release on one side and the 64-bit 
x86_64 release on the other. And, we still have T-shirts (coming soon, a 
limited edition 13.37 release commemorative black T-shirt with the classic 
Slackware logo on the front, and a "leet" LILO bootscreen on the back) and 
other Slackware stuff there, so have a look around. Thanks to our 
subscribers and supporters for keeping Slackware going all these years.

Thanks are again due to the Slackware crew, the developers of 
slackbuilds.org, the community on linuxquestions.org, Slackware IRC 
channels, and everyone else who helped out with this release.

Have fun, and enjoy the new stable release!

Pat and the Slackware crew
