Slackware 14.0slackware-14.0
Wed Sep 26 01:10:42 UTC 2012 Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released! We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long time a-brewing. But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait. Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. The Slackware team, the upstream developers, and (of course) the awesome Slackware user community. Have fun! :-)

+This is a SlackBuild that will repackage Oracle Java into a package that
+can be easily installed, upgraded, or removed using Slackware's native
+package management tools.
+
+To use it, you'll need Oracle's JDK or JRE package for Linux. Get the
+appropriate version for your architecture, either 32-bit i586 or 64-bit
+x64. Be sure to get the version that is packaged as a .tar.gz!
+
+Then, run the script like this:
+
+./java.SlackBuild /tmp/jre-7u5-linux-x64.tar.gz
+
+A Slackware txz package will be created in /tmp. Install or upgrade it
+with a command like this one (adjust for jdk or jre, arch, and version):
+
+upgradepkg --install-new jre-7u5-x86_64-1.txz
