Slackware is a popular distribution of Linux maintained by Patrick
|
|
Volkerding.<A NAME=tex2html223 HREF="footnode.html#954"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="foot_motif.gif"></A> It is easy to install and
|
|
fairly complete, and may be obtained both from the Internet as well
|
|
as on CD-ROM from a number of vendors (see Appendix <A HREF="node234.html#appvendornum">B</A>).
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Slackware distribution consists of a number of ``disk sets'',
|
|
each one containing a particular type of software (for example,
|
|
the <tt>d</tt> disk set contains development tools such as the <tt>gcc</tt>
|
|
compiler, and the <tt>x</tt> disk set contains the X Window System
|
|
software). You can elect to install whatever disk sets
|
|
you like, and can install new ones later.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The version of Slackware described here is 2.0.0, of 25 June 1994.
|
|
Installation of later versions of Slackware should be very similar
|
|
to the information given here.
