New Slackware is out. Don't forget to use the mirrors - http://www.slackware.com/getslack/

Quote:

The first major Slackware release based on the GCC 3.2.2 compiler,
Slackware Linux 9.0 continues the ten-year Slackware tradition of
simplicity, stability, and security.

Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll
find two of the most advanced desktop environments available today:
GNOME 2.2 (with a large collection of pre-compiled GNOME applications),
and KDE 3.1, the latest version of the award-winning K Desktop
Environment. Slackware now uses the 2.4.20 kernel bringing you
advanced performance features such as the ReiserFS journaling
filesystem, SCSI and ATA RAID volume support, and kernel support
for XFree86's DRI (the Direct Rendering Interface) that brings high-
speed hardware accelerated 3D graphics to Linux. Additional kernels
allow installing Slackware using any of the journaling filesystems
available for Linux, including ext3, ReiserFS, IBM's JFS, and SGI's XFS.
