The aim of this book is to provide a good introduction to the administation of network functionality in Slackware Linux. Some basic knowledge about Slackware Linux and GNU/Linux in general is required to read most parts of this book. One of the primary goals is to describe software that is included in Slackware by default. This means that having this book and a Slackware Linux CD set should be enough to build a server, router or networked workstation.
