Slackware Linux

[gore]

The idea of this post is to get more information about Slackware on AntiOnline. A lot of posts are here now that lead to help information, and I wrote tutorials and try to make them very simple so people can use Slackware easier, but sometimes that isn't enough.



If anyone can add to this, please do. I know there are more Slackware people here, and I think there should be something for newbies to help them with common issues. My tutorials aren't the only thing they need, there is a lot more.

I have a link to the Slackware store because I have used it to buy things and I think it's great. I can stand up and say that it isn't anything to scoff at and it does send you everything on time. I can take pics if you want and show the things I bought from there.

This is a site that I found to be help full. ( I'm still a Slackware newbie ... )

Some of these are dated but should be enough to get you going in the right direction.
