| My Thoughts on Slackware 12.0
2008-03-05 by Daryle Bayless "I had always avoided Slackware because of its reputation for being very difficult to install and configure. I am not a computer professional, so possess the knowledge of a typical user. I just want things to work. "I decided after a little bit of research to take the plunge. It is more effort intensive to install Slack than it is many of the distributions that are designed specifically for Windows refugees, but there is a great deal of help on the web in the form of Tutorials and wikis. It took the better part of a day to set up my system the way I want it to be set up, but after it was done my computer did EVERYTHING that I expect of a computer..." |

| Menginstal Slackware dan Mengamankannya [pdf ilmukomputer]
2006-09-13 by cezary "Artikel ini menjelaskan dua kelompok script: yang pertama digunakan untuk menginstal dan menghapus paket program, dan yang kedua digunakan untuk mengamankan sistem dari kemungkinan serangan. Keduanya didesain untuk Slackware Linux. Tool-tool untuk menginstal dan menghapus paket tidak terlalu rumit seperti program dari paket SlackPkg atau Packware, namun tool-tool tersebut memberikan anda kendali penuh atas sistem anda. Hal yang sama juga berlaku pada script untuk mengamankan sistem. Mereka hanya menjalankan operasi-operasi dasar. Kedua set tool-tool tersebut dikumpulkan dalam slack*more. |

| The Perfect Desktop--Slackware 12
Oct 11, 2007 "This tutorial shows how you can set up a Slackware 12 GNU/Linux desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e., that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktop. MO<:Unlike some other Linux distributions Slackware users find themselves at the command line quite often. One Slacker who maintains an online Slackware Desktop Enhancement Guide wrote that the 'pros and cons of Slackware could be summarized in one word: minimalism.' He went on to discuss the duality of minimalism by noting that although 'Minimalism certainly means stability' it also means that Slackware 'can be exasperating for some people because the end-user must configure many features with manual editing rather than the more familiar point-and-click...'" |

| Mad Penguin: HOWTO Install Vmware 5 on Slackware 10.1
May 27, 2005 by Adam Doxtater "VMware expects a traditional SysV init as found on popular Linux distributions such as Red Hat, Fedora, and Mandriva Linux, when it installs its services. It expects to write to a structure such as /etc/init.d/rcx.d (where X represents the various runlevels). Slackware is not setup like this at all since it uses the BSD init system, placing all of it's scripts in a flat format located in the /etc/rc.d/ directory. It's actually a very simple way to organize things, as SysV in my opinion is overly complicated. In any event, you can get around this issue by creating a 'dummy' init directory for VMware to install to. If it isn't present, VMware will fail miserably..." |

| Slackware 12.1 Review
2008-05-06 by TechieMoe: "Aside from the whole having to mount everything by hand issue, I didn't have much trouble with this version of Slackware. It's definitely not for the unitiated, however. It still requires manual partitioning, manual user setup, and manual installing/uninstalling of packages once the initial install is done (unless you download a package manager of some sort). I don't see any of these things changing any time soon. |

| Slackware 12.1 - The Newest Version of the Oldest Surviving Linux Distribution
2008-06-08 By Caitlyn Martin "Last month I wrote in my Entropy (personal) blog about the failures of two of my computer systems. I ended up wiping the hard drive on my five and a half year old Toshiba Satellite 1805-S204 (1GHz Intel Celeron processor, 512MB RAM, 20GB HDD) and rebuilding it to temporarily handle more of the load. I chose to install two Linux distributions in a dual boot configuration and decided to take a good long look at the oldest surviving Linux distribution and one of the first ones I worked with: Slackware. A new release, 12.1, came out early in May so this seemed like the perfect time to take a look at the venerable distro. |
