The biggest addition to Slackware 13.0 is the official 64bit port of Slackware. Patrick Volkerding writes, “We know that many of you have been waiting eagerly for this, and once you try it you’ll see it was well worth the wait.” I must try it, but the Torrent is not available for now. Slackware 13 comes with Xfce 4.6.1, KDE 4.2.4, Linux kernel 2.6.29.6 and on the developers’ side, it comes with gcc-4.3.3, Perl 5.10.0, Python 2.6.2, Ruby 1.8.7-p174, Subversion 1.6.4, git-1.6.4, mercurial-1.2.1, graphical tools like Qt designer and KDevelop.
