Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Qemu still befuddles me at times. It doesn't help when various command line options are deprecated and changes. For qemu-3.xx, there have been some changes to setting up USB passthrough. This all all came to a head when I needed to restore an iphone. The powermac G5 is dismantled at the moment, so I thought, why not use the Windows 10 VM? After letting Win10 grind along updating itself (I don't fire it up very often), I installed itunes (win10 has an "app store"? ugh.), the fun began....
Gridcoin-Research is now in the SBo pending queue. Gridcoin (GRC) is a cryptocurrency based on bitcoin, but instead of burning up the electrical grid, the GRC awards are based on participation in BOINC scientific computing projects.
I've posted a newer BOINC buildscript to Slackbuils.org. See the discussion here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...4/#post5619471
It should be a bit easier now to get BOINC running on Slackare. All dependencies are on SBo. Please be sure to read the README!
As many of you know, Slackware ships with a heap of software for the main distribution, but does not have a binary repository like some other distributions for additional. Hence, a volunteer organization: Slackbuilds.org (SBo), as well as others too numerous to mention.
For CAS and numerical calculations, covering a huge range of mathematics, including basic algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group...
Given my recent hectic work schedule, I am drifting behind a bit in my SBo updates. However, I was able to squeeze out a bit of time to update test a the Nvidia-390.59 proprietary drivers for Slackware 14.2 stable kernel 4.4.132 updates. So far so good. I haven't had time to test the multilib compat32 yet (Steam, WINE, etc).
Let me know of any issues, especially with the pure 32-bit Slackware. The only 32-bit Slackware install I have available is a MSI Atom netbook, besides a qemu...
