11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, and -current to fix a security issue. If a

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! 🙂
Also see the “Get Slack” section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
