Slackel is a Linux distribution and live CD based on Slackware Linux and Salix OS.

It is fully compatible with both. It uses the current version of Slackware and the latest version of the KDE desktop.

The Slackel disc images are offered in two different forms - installation and live.

Slackel 13.37 KDE-4.6.5 installation cd.

Slackel 13.37 KDE-4.6.5 image (32-bit) (size: 701MB, md5: b52245626b1babac05cb4f2fea914503 )

Download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/slackel/files/kde-4.6.5/slackel-13.37-kde-4.6.5.iso/download

In installation do not choose default gr keyboard but choose us keyboard to have english enviroment and not greek after installation. It is slackel distribution which is for greek users and is based on Salix

with some more packages as gftp, pidgin and kde 4.6.5.

KDE is excluded from slapt-get to not break system if someone install a kde-4.5.5 package.

The rest slackware packages can be installed as usual with gslapt/slapt-get.

If you want kdeedu-4.6.5, kdegames-4.6.5 etc can download them from http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/4.6.5/x86/kde/

and install them with installpkg package.txz

language packages (for both 32 and 64 bit) can download from http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/4.6.5/x86_64/kdei/

Do not upgrade kdepim and kdepimlibs since these versions included in 13.37 works fine with KDE-4.6.5 and are stable.

bluedevil, the new bluetooth connection manager for KDE is included too. It integrates well with KDE (you will find a “send to bluetooth device” in Dolphin’s context menu for instance). The old “kbluetooth” application is no longer developed and the GTK application in Slackware “blueman” is not as featureful.

Slackel is a Linux distribution based on Slackware's "current" branch, with the goal of integrating the latest KDE desktop, the Calligra office suite and some custom artwork into separate live (installable to hard disk) and installation DVD images. The project's latest version, KDE-4.8.2, was announced yesterday: "A new set of Slackel KDE-4.8.2 version. A collection of four KDE ISO images are immediately available to our users, including 32-bit and 64-bit installation images as well as 32-bit and 64-bit live images that can be burned to a DVD or used with a USB drive. Slackel KDE-4.8.2 includes the latest 'current' tree of Slackware Linux and the latest KDE 4.8.2 accompanied by a very rich collection of KDE-centric software. The Firefox 11.0 web browser, KMail and KTorrent are the main networking applications included in this release, followed by Akregator and Kopete."
