I have shrunk the Windows XP MCE partition that the laptop came with to the smallest possible size. This gives about 90GB free space for the test distro's to play with.

Installation and Configuration

Since it's first release in 1993, Slackware has featured a text-based installer and it hasn't changed much since then. Patrick and the rest of the Slackware developers could certainly move to a GUI installer if they wanted - there are many to choose from - but that would go against their goals of simplicity and stability. By keeping the text-based installation program, it helps keep the minimum supported system spec's down. Slackware only requires a 486 with 16MB of RAM! Props to the developers for not bloating the distro simply for bloat's sake.

With version 11, this is the first version that has officially been available on DVD which simplifies the install process somewhat. CD ISO's are still available, of course, as are disks from the official Slackware store. As with any distro, I recommend that you purchase an official copy to support the developers who donate countless hours of work to product such a good product. You can purchase a subscription to Slackware which will automatically send you the latest official version when it's released - that's the method that I personally prefer.

This release has s slightly larger footprint than 10.2 due to quite a number of new packages added. Here's a summary of what has been added to Slackware 11 since the last release:
