Hi, I'm a newbie. I've moved from windows 8.1 to Slackware a coupe days. They said If I want to know deeper about computer, I have to use one of Linux distro. So Slackware is very basic, that's why I try it. I used use Ubuntu a few time before but Slackware which it's harder. I begin search in the internet about driving the distro.
My language is not English. I used Lingoes in Windows. Now I'm lookin for same one. I need a help for downloading, installing software, maybe step by step because I don't have much experience at Linux in common.
Windows abstracts away much, Linux distro's abstracts a little less, DIY linux abstracts a little more less. Then goes build your own app/kernel with 'C' or 'Assembly' and then you go deep. Then may be you build/design your own cpu (FPGA's) with accompanying kernel/apps. This would be ultimate deep.
