Slackware 13.37 has been released

Dubious quotation time: 'Learning Ubuntu teaches you Ubuntu, but learning Slackware teaches you Linux'<p>It was my first Linux OS desktop and I lived with it for about a year. It's not impossible for a non-initiate to just dive in, if he is not afraid of the command line.

Slackware was my first Linux distro circa 1992.<p>I have fond memories of the empowerment from having a Unix machine in my dorm room.

Slackware is great to learn on but, like Gentoo, I find myself turning knobs more often than I would like. I use Ubuntu and Debian to get work done. I rarely have an interest looking under the hood these days.

I was never 1337 enough to use Slackware. But seriously folks, what decade are these people in:<p>"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."<p>I really think they lost the plot.
