Slackware 15 RC2 was released not long after we posted a quick review and installation how-to for RC1. In our experience with the installation process nothing has changed since RC1 except for the fact much of software has been finalized. Slackware RC2 is even better in terms of refinement, overall features, and stability and after using it for a month or so we wanted to share some of our experiences. The following videos are a quick review of the standard full install of the system. (While writing this article, Slackware RC3 posted so please give it a try!)
