Slackware 12.2

I can't belive that ... Slackware 12.2 was released. Slackware was the first distributions what I ever tryed ... in 1997, so I can get some time to announce their release. New features:

1. Kernel 2.6.27.7 + kernel patched with Speakup to support speech synthesizers
2. System binaries are linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.7.
3. X11 based on the X.Org Foundation's modular X Window System. (Only now ?)
4. gcc-4.2.4 as the default C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran-77/95, and Ada 95 compiler.
5. OpenSSH, OpenVPN, GnuPG and Apache 2.2.10
6. PCMCIA, CardBus, USB, IEE1394 (FireWire) and ACPI support great for your laptop
7. Perl 5.10.0, Python 2.5.2, Ruby 1.8.7-p72, Subversion 1.5.4, git-1.6.0.3, mercurial-1.0.2 ... (yummy)
8. New versions of Slackware package management tools make it easy to add, remove, upgrade, and make your own Slackware packages.
9. Web Browsers: Konwueror 3.5.10, Firefox 3.0.4 and SeaMonkey 1.1.13
10. KDE 3.5.10 + Koffice + Kdevelop (wow ... really for Slack)
