Slackware made easy
"Give a man Ubuntu, and he'll learn Ubuntu. Give a man SUSE, and he'll learn SUSE. But give a man Slackware, and he'll learn Linux. Well, so the old internet maxim goes, but while it's normally used with a touch of humour, there's a great deal of truth in it too.

If you've ever wondered what it is about Slackware that makes it so popular amongst Linux veterans, read on for a bit of history, and hands-on installation guide, plus some tips to help you get started..."

thanks, dude.....been looking at red hat for a bit now, as I know I need to learn linux, and this seems like exactly what the very advanced windows user who wants to learn linux fast and easy is looking for.

nice.......wish someone had pointed me at this, oh, say, 5 years or so ago.

peace.
