OpenPlug
Slackware Linux for ARM

ARMedslack is the Official port of the Slackware® Linux distribution to the ARM architecture. Currently, the project focuses its efforts on supporting the ARM Versatile platform (emulated by QEMU) and the Marvell SheevaPlug.

ARMedslack packages are compiled for armv4, little endian, old ABI (a new port to EABI will also be undertaken at a later date). ARMedslack's packages will run many of the ARM devices in use today - most of the time all that is required to support an additional architecture is a Kernel and Linux boot loader.

Current progress

29-June-2009

Slackware ARM version 12.2 is released!

I'm really happy to finally make the release - it's been a long time in the making. Thanks to everybody who has helped throughout the development cycle! The next step is to begin on the EABI port -- it'll take a while to get a base set of packages together for this, so a new "-current" won't be open for some time yet, so you have plenty of time to enjoy this release :-)
