I've just released Slackware 2.0.2 on ftp.cdrom.com, in 
/pub/linux/slackware.  There have been all sorts of little fixes and 
upgrades since the last version, but these are probably the most 
interesting features of the new version:

  --  Bootdisks that use the 1.1.54 kernel, including support for the 
      Adaptec 274x/284x SCSI controllers.  Other alpha drivers have also
      been provided for the Always IN2000, EATA SCSI, and the NEC 260 
      CD-ROM. 

  -- The X and XD disks have been upgraded to XFree86 3.1, and the 
     ConfigXF86 script has been updated to produce the new XF86Config 
     file used by XFree86 3.1.

  -- Quota support is built into all of the precompiled kernels.

  -- All of the extra drivers are built right into the provided kernel 
     source.

  -- The XAP series has been completely recompiled to use the XFree86 3.1
     libraries.
 
  -- XView has been re-ported from XView3.2p1-X11R6.
   
  -- The old XFree86 2.1.1 libraries are also included, so DOOM will run 
     just fine! :^)

  -- Other software upgrades include: procps-0.97, less-237, Jove 4.14.10,
     ftape-1.13b, ppp-2.1.2b.

Have fun!
