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.

I use the 12 hour format even tho I'm in Europe now. I don't think I'll ever get used to 24 hour military time. Either way, when speaking most people use 12 hour format even here, so I don't see the point.
I always use 24 hour time so there is no question of what time I want someone to be somewhere.
Can I ask what people are using to take their screenshots? Something in the "repository" or something from slackbuilds? Or perhaps something you just use from source?

Daedra! Really digging that clean and simple Slackware background in the first snapshot... mind sharing that? Also, how do you get conky to show like that, where it looks like it's raised off of the wallpaper?

Conky isn't actually raised at all, its the transparent cube in compiz that makes it look like that. If you are referring to the transparent background that I use for conky you need lua support built into conky and them you can just just add a background using a lua script.

Thanks for the links, much appreciated! As for that conky instance in the first screenshot, it looks very similar to the KDE windows you have on the desktop where conky remains transparent but has a frosted transparent look. That's done with a background using lua?
Correct. It's a lua script that simply draws a background around your conky config. the script itself is separate from conky, you just add a line into your .conkyrc to "link" it in. Let me know if your interested and I can post the lua script and the lua-hook line to load into your conky config.

Took this a little earlier today, I just reinstalled about two days ago, in an effort to create a super light system, as well as just to fool around, I did a custom install of slackware, leaving out kde, xfce, and all related packages, as well as firefox, thunderbird, etc, etc. Here is a picture of my pure fluxbox slackware, with urxvt, sonata, and emacs! (as you can see, I'm teaching myself how to program with python)
