Slackware Live Edition 1.1.3 based on Slackware -current 11 Aug 2016

Last time I wrote about Slackware Live Edition was when I released the version 1.1.0 of the scripts. And that was two months ago; lots of updates have been made inbetween.

Stable 1.0.0 release of liveslak

Yesterday on the final day of my short holiday (of sorts) I prepped and released version 1.0.0 of my “liveslak” project. It is stable and the bugs that were reported (plus some more) have been taken care of. The “1.0.0” marker is not the end of its development of course. It means that I consider the project production-ready. […]

Updates for LibreOffice, Chromium, Calibre, QBittorrent, Veracrypt

I have been preparing a stable release of liveslak, and I wanted the PLASMA5 ISO to have up-to-date software taken from my own “alien” package repository.
