Slackware 13.37slackware-13.37
Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. 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. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun!

+ZipSlack?</a></h1>
+
+<p>ZipSlack is a special version of Slackware Linux. It's an already installed copy of
+Slackware that's ready to run from your DOS or Windows partition. It's a basic
+installation, you do not get everything that comes with Slackware.</p>
+
+<p>ZipSlack gets its name from the form it's distributed in, a big .ZIP file. Users of
+DOS and Windows will probably be familiar with these files. They are compressed archives.
+The ZipSlack archive contains everything you need to get up and running with
+Slackware.</p>
+
+<p>It is important to note that ZipSlack is significantly different from a regular
+installation. Even though they function the same and contain the same programs, their
+intended audiences and functions differ. Several advantages and disadvantages of ZipSlack
+are discussed below.</p>
+
+<p>One last thing, you should always review the documentation included in the actual
+ZipSlack directory. It contains the latest information regarding installation, booting,
+and general use of the product.</p>
