The long development process of Slackware Linux 11.0 is about to conclude - that's according to Patrick Volkerding who has declared the "current" tree as RC1: "There are still a few changes yet to happen, but let's call this Slackware 11.0 release candidate 1." Other recent changes include upgrade to stable kernel 2.4.33; upgrade to udev 097, and rebuild of glibc 2.3.6 for both 2.4.33 and 2.6.16.27 kernels. Update: Screenshots.

"The new Eclipse 3.2 release with WTP (eclipse.org) btw works well with tomcat in development."
That's nice to hear. Every time I've attempted to use previous versions of the Eclipse WTP, it failed in miserable, time wasting, mind-numbing, head banging on wall, fingernail peeling, power drill in ear, frustration and futility. ;-)
Based on my past experiences with Eclipse WTP, I considered it a misirable heap of dung that was dead on arrival. But it is good to hear that it's improved.
That said, I usually do Tomcat stuff with a simple programmers editor, Ant, and the Tomcat manager utility - it's easy and fast.
Anyway, enabling the standard jdk on Slackware sounds like a no-brainer. After that, installing anything Java (Tomcat, Eclipse, NetBeans, jEdit, JBoss, etc) is a snap.
I'll give Slack another shot when 11 is released. Hopefully, the installer will run on my Thinkpad this time (I could also give it the noapic nolapic acpi=off kernel arguments).
