LQ thread Suggestion-use-performance-cpu-frequency-governor discusses which scaling governor would be most appropriate for Intel CPU using the intel_pstate scaling driver as those CPU only have the powersave and the performance governors.

Irrespective of the merit or not of changing the default scaling governor in Slackware for such CPU, at one point, the question of how to implement a change came up. In post #71, user abga made an implementation proposal that required changes to...

I recently added to a laptop a second SATA Hitachi hard disk (HDD) using a HDD caddy that replaced the CD/DVD drive. This second HDD was from an old laptop whose motherboard died and had a Windows Vista partition and a linux partition.

The first HDD (Toshiba) in the laptop was partitioned as follows:
/dev/sda1 for the swap
/dev/sda2 for the root directory of Slackware 14.1 64bit with ext4 filesystem

Hello,

With the recent release of Slackware 14.0, I switched my desktop from KDE to XFCE. Don't get me wrong, I like KDE but it's starting to feel a bit slow on my main laptop (Acer Aspire 7220: AMD Semprom 3500+ 1.8 GHz - RAM 4GB DDR2).

I didn't upgrade from my previous OS (Salix 13.37), but rather made a clean installation. Because I'm using Kmymoney to manage my personal finances and I didn't want to install all the KDE packages just for that application, I made...
