Slackware "Current" is now beta - that's according to Patrick Volkerding who wrote the following in today's changelog: "Howdy! Lots of shiny stuff here, including the long awaited Xfce 4.10. Thanks to Robby Workman for the initial set of build scripts, and lots of testing (plus some very helpful notes about things such as the proper build order). I'm calling this a beta (finally!), and it's really very close to what we expect to release. Test away." The changelog also includes a long note on udev: "Well, udev in this development cycle has certainly been interesting. A fair number of odd bug reports have been coming in, and we hadn't really been able to get a handle on the source of the issues. Quite some time ago we started testing udev-182, and noticed that it caused some issues with the persistent net and CD rules." As always, there are no official installation media, but recent builds of unofficial DVD images can be had from here: slackware-current-17_Jul_2012-DVD.iso (2,422MB, MD5), slackware64-current-17_Jul_2012-DVD.iso (2,382MB, MD5).
