After one of the most intensive periods of development in Slackware’s history, the long awaited stable release of Slackware 13.0 is ready. This release brings with it many major changes since Slackware 12.2, including a completely reworked collection of X packages (a configuration file for X is no longer needed in most cases), major upgrades to the desktop environments (KDE version 4.2.4 and Xfce version 4.6.1), a new .txz package format with much better compression, and other upgrades all around — to the development system, network services, libraries, and major applications like Firefox and Thunderbird. We think you’ll agree that this version of Slackware was worth the wait. Also, this is the first release of Slackware with native support for the 64-bit x86_64 architecture! Major kudos to Eric Hameleers for all of his work, especially on the 64-bit port.

Johnny Hughes has announced the release of CentOS 4.8. This is a new version of the project’s older, legacy branch built by the recompiling the source package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8: “The CentOS development team is pleased to announce the release of CentOS 4.8 for i386 and x86_64 architectures. New in this release: there is a technology preview of OpenOffice.org 2.0 included in the updates directory. Known issues: there is a requirement to swap in CD-1 during the install phase of CD-4 during some installs when the comps RPM is required to be installed; an upstream bug with the 3c59x Ethernet driver has been encountered during testing; there are issues with the i586 support on the AMD K6II processor….” See the release announcement and release notes for more details. Existing installations can be updated to the latest version via the usual update mechanism, but an installation CD and DVD images are also provide for download (mirror list: CentOS-4.8-i386-binDVD.iso (2,342MB, MD5, torrent), CentOS-4.8-x86_64-binDVD.iso (2,605MB, MD5, torrent).
