NEWS ABOUT SlackEX BUILD 230521 with the Xfce4 DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT (DE)
A new version of SlackEX is ready. It is based on Slackware 15.0 STABLE released 220202 with Xfce4 as DE. The most important package installed is Refracta Snapshot. With that you can build your own Slackware 15.0 distribution. Xfce4 is one of Slackware’s official Desktop environments. The other one is KDE. Kernel 6.3.1-amd64-exton is used in this SlackEX Build. To be able to use Refracta Snapshot you’ll have to use said kernel. Otherwise you can (of course) replace “my” kernel with Slackware’s original kernel.

UPDATE/Upgrade the System
As regards my other two SlackEX Builds (with LXQt respectively Enlightenment) you can easily upgrade the systems to the present state of Slackware 15.0 stable. Just run the command sudo slackpkg update followed by sudo slackpkg upgrade-all.
