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 am trying to run a program as root and typed sudo and the program name, but for some reason the user I'm logged in as isn't in the sudoers file. How do I add the user to the sudoers file?
As you've already discovered, Slackware doesn't ship sudo preconfigured as a "magic hammer" - instead, it's (properly) left up to the admin to decide if and by whom and under what conditions sudo will be used. This is pretty much a common thread - unlike some distributions of linux that are mentioned in your signature, Slackware lets *you* be in charge.
