Run your Slackware installation with the latest kernel - 4.9!

Posted 12-23-2016 at 02:47 AM by exton (Exton's Blog)

NEWS 161223
Kernel 4.9-x86_64-exton is my newest Slackware kernel. The stable kernel 4.9 was released by Kernel.org on December 11, 2016.

I have compiled a very useful (as I think) 64 bit kernel for Slackware Current (14.2) and/or all Slackware derivatives. For example Slax, Zenwalk and SlackEX.

ExTiX 17.0, Build 161221, with KDE 4.16 together with KDE Frameworks 5.26.0, Refracta Tools and kernel 4.9 (latest)

Posted 12-21-2016 at 04:47 AM by exton (Exton's Blog)
