Chapter 1. About this book

1.1. About this book

This book aims to provide an introduction to Slackware Linux. It addresses people who have little or no GNU/Linux experience. It aims to cover the Slackware Linux installation, basic GNU/Linux commands and the configuration of Slackware Linux. As you can see the book is still work in progress, but the first bits are released in the "release early, release often" spirit.

This book is written by Daniël de Kok and is freely available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. It is continually under development, not just to keep up with the latest Slackware versions, but also to refine the documentation, and extend it where it is deemed necessary. The latest version can be found at http://www.slackfiles.net/

We wish everybody a good time with Slackware Linux, and we hope this book is useful for you.
