Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released!

We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long
time a-brewing.  But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible
configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it.

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.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.  The Slackware team, the
upstream developers, and (of course) the awesome Slackware user
community.

Have fun!  :-)

+NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all
+times.  The point of NetworkManager is to make networking configuration and
+setup as painless and automatic as possible.  NetworkManager is intended to
+replace default route, replace other routes, set IP addresses, and in general
+configure networking as NM sees fit (with the possibility of manual override as
+necessary).  In effect, the goal of NetworkManager is to make networking Just
+Work with a minimum of user hassle, but still allow customization and a high
+level of manual network control.
+
+You will probably want to install network-manager-applet (for a configuration
+UI) for sure, along with ModemManager (if you want support for configuring
+broadband modem connections) perhaps one or more of the VPN-related addons.
+
+You will also need to start rc.networkmanager during boot - you can use
+rc.local, or perhaps you'll want to edit rc.M's call to rc.wicd...  :-)
