Description

This retail box contains Slackware Linux 7.1, plus the reference book, Slackware Linux Essentials. The official release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities. Slackware Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a full-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity, from desktop workstation to machine-room server. Web, ftp, and e-mail servers are ready to go out of the box, as are a wide selection of popular desktop environments.

A full range of development tools, editors, and current libraries are also included for users who wish to develop or compile additional software. The Slackware philosophy demands ease of use, ease of administration, and open development; all are reflected in this carefully built and tested official four-disc set.

This set includes a bootable installation disc, a bootable live disc (the Ultimate Linux rescue and demo disc!), ZipSlack/BigSlack (small or large installation onto a Windows partition), and the complete source code and handy Linux archives.

Also included with this set is the Slackware Linux Essentials book, an indispensable resource you will want to have by your side at all times. It contains the most complete and up-to-date information available on the Slackware Linux operating system. The must-have reference guide you have been waiting for, it delivers everything you need to get started with Slackware Linux, including straightforward explanations of important programs and step-by-step instructions to guide you through the Slackware installation process. With the help of this book, you'll learn to use the advanced X Window System graphical interface, to enjoy Linux's excellent native networking and Internet access software, and to use many of the Unix commands available on a Slackware Linux system. Essentials also acquaints you with basic system-administration skills, such as managing software packages, handling user accounts, and using the powerful VI text editor.
