I only found this site a copy months ago, but I feel its time that slackware comes up with its own forum. If pat lets my host the forum on slackware.com I'll handle all the work. Do you guys and gals think that pat will let me do this?
This is the officialy sanctioned Slackware forum, as per Pat, who has in the past run a Slackware forum before, and shut it down due to abuse (a quick search of threads in the last week would have revealed this topic came up before very recently).
So, since this *is* the official Slackware forum, I don't see a need for any other 'official' forum.
You can always try to make a Slack-specific forum, but it probably won't gain the critical mass it needs to become the official one. Here, all distros can share solutions with each other.
We provide very limited installation support and technical support to our users through email, and only if time and resources allow. Probably the best place to turn for free support from the Slackware user community is the Slackware forum on LinuxQuestions.org:
LinuxQuestions.org - "Where newbies come for help!"
This site runs our favorite Slackware questions forum. If you have general Slackware-related questions or need help, this is a great place to join in discussions with a user community that's friendly and eager to help.
We are the official forum, the rest are simply stand alone help sites.
LinuxQuestions.org is looking for people interested in writing
