Hi all,
I just installed successfully Slackware64 -current 14.2 in a Linode VM (1Gb RAM).
Output of installed /etc/os-release

Is this an adequate fix? Uninstall pulseaudio? (I am not sure as this is a slackware key component). Any other advice or recommendation in this case from available hardware perspective?
