Slackbook in 2019
Hello, I am wondering about the current "slackbook" status.
It is unreachable on the website (ftp://ftp.slackbook.org/slackbook/slackbook-2.0.pdf), and the Slackware store produces just a blank page on my browser (http://store.slackware.com/). Furthermore, the updated version is in beta since 2012 (http://www.slackbook.org/beta/) and not downloadable in pdf. I managed to obtain a copy of the stable one (slackbook-2.0.pdf), being included in the Slackware 14.2 DVD, but I'd like to ask if, in your opinion, nowadays could still be a solid learning resource (the book is 14 years old...). I've just reinstalled Slackware and I'm looking forward to learning more :) Thanks for the help. |
Wario, the Store has been shut down because its owners were ripping off Patrick.
The URL to the Slack Book PDF is indeed down, I notified the server admins to have a look. You can download an EPUB version of the Slack Book here in the meantime: https://docs.slackware.com/epub:slackbook In general, information on that Slack Docs Wiki is more relevant than the old Slack Book which has not been updated in years. |
Dear AlienBob, thank you so much for your help :)
I downloaded the epub version and started exploring the Slackware Wiki, seems a perfect learning resource. I was not aware of the store sad news, my hope is that we could soon come back again to have that service as a way to actively support the Slackware project. My best regards, Wario. |

Thank you so much for the link, it seems I missed an extremely important issue.
I am so sad for the whole situation, surely not expecting something so big... |
