Hey all,

Just something I noticed....

http://www.slackware.com/book/

I never read this nor did I know it was available

I love it. It is something I think everyone should read. Even if they don't use Slackware. It has a ton of useful info about Linux period.

I feel like a fool now

I should have read this earlier...

Later.

yeah, i like that doc. (did i read recently that there was an updated version available somewhere?) it seems there are so many good linux references out there one can forget to check some of them. thanks for the reminder.

Great book, but I wish it were available in formats other than just HTML (like ps, dvi, or pdf).

You're welcome Steve. I'll echo what Whitehat said, it's an excellent resource. Might there be a chance to add Slack to your distro list? Time will tell. -- J.W.

Thanks Steve! I grabbed it too. It's just nice to be able to print something like that and have it next to you while messin round with Slack....or just to read on the sofa

Peace...

Now there is the new, and official The Revised Slackware Book Project

Also available in your favorite flavors:

Split HTML
Single-page HTML
DocBook Source
Post script
PDF

or you may order a printed version from the Slackware store if you prefer.

Be sure to also order the upcoming (really soon now) Slackware-10.2 release, or better yet, purchase a Slackware subscription so that you will (1) always get the official CD sets, and (2) contribute to the Slackware Linux Project, which is also available for free!
