Patrick J. Volkerding announced the first release candidate of Slackware 12 in the current changelog. This will be the first Slackware release with a kernel from the 2.6 tree (2.6.21.5) as default. "It's that time again, and here we have Slackware 12.0 release candidate 1! If we're lucky, we got it all right the first time. Big thanks to the crew."

Exactly the reason why I like FVWM + some simple tools (e.g. xmessage, shell scripts, Python + Tkinter) so much! Small, simple to compile from source, compact, simple dependency tree...
There is supposed to be some kind of automatic build system (two, in fact) for Gnome (Gargnome and jhbuild) that should automate the dependency check/download/build process. However, when I tried jhbuild on RHEL4 based Scientific Linux it just didn't work... (as expected)
