Linux HOWTO's

The famous Linux HOWTOs are a collection of documents which cover specific parts of a GNU/Linux system. Most HOWTOs are distribution independent, and therefore very useful for using them with Slackware Linux. The "linux-howtos" package in from the "f" diskset contains the HOWTO collection. After installing this package the HOWTOs can be found in the /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/ directory. Slackware also contains a collection of Mini-HOWTOs, which are shorter and cover narrower topics. The Mini-HOWTOs can be found in the /usr/doc/Linux-mini-HOWTOs/ directory after installing the "linux-mini-howtos" package.

alt.os.linux.slackware

alt.os.linux.slackware is a Slackware Linux newsgroup. You can read newsgroups with a newsreader like tin or knode. Be careful: it is expected that you have read all necessary documentation before posting to this newsgroup. If you have not the chance of getting "flamed" is really big.
