This is a comment on news story: Slackware Linux 10.1 Released
It's a reply to comment: Interesting...

Re: Interesting... by: KnuxT15 
[QUOTE "DaBlade"]
This looks interesting. I might try it...if it has X.org and Kernel 2.6.x that is..I won't go back into ancient history (XF86, 2.4.x)
------
Well DaBlade, after reading the article, yes and yes. "For those Slackware users who are anxious to try the new 2.6.x kernel series, it is fully supported by the system. A precompiled Linux 2.6.10 kernel, modules, and source code are provided (along with complete instructions on how to install the new kernel). "
That means you have the option to install the newest 2.6.x kernel when installing.
Now, as to X.org: " X11R6.8.1
This is the current release of the X.Org Foundation's X Window System. The 6.8.1 version is a new release that includes additional hardware support, functional enhancements and bug fixes. Font rendering is improved yet again with recent versions of fontconfig and freetype. Through the generosity of Bitstream, Inc., the Vera truetype font family is included as well providing pleasing default fonts out of the box. "

This answer your questions? ^_^
