i am quite old and new to the computing world beyond checking e mail etc..... doing college courses on computing (techie stuff)just now preparing for retirement and loving Linux.
have just put Ubuntu on my laptop and have windows7 and Slackware on virtual-box....i love playing with Linux but usually have to re-install rather than fix...
i really like the look of Slackware but am finding it difficult to get real simple answers to questions about how to use, update install etc...any recommendations please on some easy reading?... if this goes well i am thinking of dual boot Ubuntu and slackware... any advice welcome..this is my first post just to get me started so forgive the simple ramble on this occasion...any future post i will try to give more focus
thanks

Both are free, short, and well-written.

You're also supposed to read the files with the capitalized names that you found on the mirrors/installation media. And the email you got the first time you logged in as root.
