PrefaceThis book aims to provide an introduction to Slackware Linux. It addresses people who have little or no GNU/Linux experience, and covers the Slackware Linux installation, basic GNU/Linux commands and the configuration ofSlackware Linux. After reading this book, you should be prepared to use Slackware Linux for your daily work, andmore than that. Hopefully this book is useful as a reference to more experienced Slackware Linux users as well.Thanks to the rapid development of open source software, there are now comprehensive desktop environments andapplications for GNU/Linux. Most current distributions and books focus on using GNU/Linux with such environments.I chose to ignore most of the graphical applications for this book, and tried to focus this book on helping you, as areader, to learn using GNU/Linux in a more traditional UNIX-like way. I am convinced that this approach is oftenmore powerful, and helps you to learn GNU/Linux well, and not just one distribution or desktop environment. TheUNIX philosophy is described in the overview of U

After reading this book, you should be prepared to use Slackware Linux for your daily work, and more than that.

Slackware Linux [6] - It was one of the earliest operating systems to be built on top of the Linux kernel and is the oldest currently being maintained. Slackware is pretty popular among the hardcore Linux users and sys admins. Linux Mint Linux [7] - Linux Mint provides an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a
The Slackware Linux operating system is a powerful platform for Intel-based computers. It is designed to be stable, secure, and functional as both a high-end server and powerful workstation. This book is designed to get you started with the Slackware Linux operating system. It's not meant to cover every single aspect of
Slackware installs lots of programming stu by default. I did not test to see how extensive this was. A very nasty di erence between Slackware and Fedora in particular, is that your hard drive gets reformatted early in the installation. A Fedora instal-lation does not touch your hard drive until you nally hit the install

No bugzilla, no public code reposito,ry no code contributors No procedures to become a developer. "Benevolent Dictatorship" (although Pat would not agree). The nal decision about what goes into Slackware remains with Patrick Volkerding. But. he listens to common sense. Not a one-man show! Slackware has a core team of contributors
