Description

KVM, which stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine, serves as a comprehensive virtualization solution for Linux systems operating on x86 hardware equipped with virtualization capabilities (such as Intel VT or AMD-V). It comprises a loadable kernel module, known as kvm.ko, that underpins the essential virtualization framework, along with a processor-specific module, either kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. By utilizing KVM, users can operate several virtual machines that run unaltered Linux or Windows operating systems. Each virtual machine is allocated its own set of virtualized hardware components, including a network interface card, storage, graphics adapter, and more. KVM is an open-source project, with its kernel component integrated into the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.20, while the userspace aspect has been incorporated into the mainline QEMU project starting from version 1.3. This integration enables widespread deployment and support for various virtualization applications and services.

Description

Following an extensive development process that included numerous beta versions and release candidates to ensure perfection, we are excited to introduce the new stable release. This version features comprehensive updates across the system, incorporating the latest development tools, as well as updated applications, window managers, desktop environments, and utilities. The Linux kernel has been upgraded to version 4.4.14, which is part of the long-term support 4.4.x kernel series, ensuring ongoing maintenance and security. We have meticulously curated a selection of modern components and enhanced them to create a seamless user experience. For those familiar with Slackware, you will find that this release feels just like home. If you're interested in trying Slackware 14.2 without making any changes to your hard drive, the Slackware Live Edition is an excellent option. This version allows you to run a full Slackware installation directly from a CD, DVD, or USB drive. Additionally, we provide build scripts for a wide array of supplementary software tailored for Slackware 14.2, ensuring that users have everything they need to customize their experience. With this release, we aim to continue the legacy of reliability and performance that Slackware is known for.
