Greetings, Linux community. I have been using Ubuntu for a few months now, and i want to make the switch to Slackware because I want to learn Linux, not just use it. Can anybody give me any advice on what to expect?
I know Slackware is different, but in what way? What will make the transition easier? And what is the most effective way to learn about Slackware and its usage? I appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Joshua
PS: I am currently reading the Linux book on the website. I just wanted to know what other resources are available.
reading WHAT linux book??? There are a bazillion....
The Slackware site and the official Slackware manual are probably the best source of info on how Slackware is different. My one-liner would be: "User in the loop on all details."
