Slackware 13.37 is released!

It's true! Slackware 13.37 has been released. Nearly a year in the making, you
will appreciate the performance and stability that can only come with careful 
and rigorous testing. Slackware 13.37 uses the 2.6.37.6 Linux kernel (hence our 
new $SLACKWARE_VERSION.$KERNEL_VERSION naming system used for this release ;-), 
and also ships with 2.6.38.4 kernels for those who want to run the latest (and 
also includes configuration files for 2.6.35.12 and 2.6.39-rc4). The long-awaited 
Firefox 4.0 web browser is included, the X Window System has been upgraded (and 
includes the open source nouveau driver for nVidia cards). The venerable Slackware 
installer has been improved as well, with support for installing to btrfs (for 
those who would like to try a new copy on write filesystem), a one-package-per-line 
display mode option, and alienBOB's big surprise: an easy to set up PXE install 
server that runs right off the DVD!

More details may by found in the official announcement and in the release notes:
