Meanwhile, the unofficial 4.4 and 4.9 automatic builds continue to make themselves available. It takes about 5 hours from release until all 4 longterm builds are finished. https://dusk.idlemoor.tk/
Thanks Mats and Didier for making me look -- the damn thing failed to do 4.9.24 yesterday morning because, apparently, the updated chroots for -current failed to unmount after building 4.9.23. I've unmounted the broken mess and tickled the building script, and it should finish building and mirroring about 2 1/2 hours from now.
myre75: Yes, you might need kernel 4.10+ to have better support for the new Intel GPU.
As long as you compiled correctly, it should work on 14.2 stable
my suggestion will be to use Slackware's config as as base and start picking new features/changes in the newer kernel
