Slackware Linux Released: Very Comprehensive

Slackware Linux Release is a very comprehensive book covering much of the topic. I thought it was an exceptional book! I successfully installed in an older X386 33MHz machine. Initial install isn't exactly automatic but is manageable for one with reasonable computer skills. Book not only covers basics but is also good for intermediate use and as a general UNIX reference. Browsing through other books on the topic, I would strongly recommend this book as well as the Slackware distribution of Linux that comes with it.

A very good book I think the best part is it's for everyone

Slackware is a great os and this book shows you how you will make Slackware run at peak preformance and show to you that the worlds highest price and most baught virus win 9* is such a piece of crap. Buy this book now you will not be sorry you did. Power to the Penguin The_Phreaker

Lots of information; poor organization

This book contains alot of useful information on installing, configuring and using Linux. The organization of the book, however, could be better. The book jumps around in many places. Some of the early chapters reference things from the later ones. The information is there but you'll have to dig. Overall though, I would rate this as a good book to have. Whether you are a first time Linux user or an experienced kernal hacker, this book contains useful information. Plus it comes with a CD with the Slackare Linux release.

A very good book for beginners

This book is a very good book for beginners, it explains the basics in Linux and also goes in-depth on some subjects, it's easy enough for beginners and advanced enough for intermediated. Although the book is about one year old it has not yet become outdated. A Good buy!

A great Book about using any linux system from newbie to exp

This is an exalant book!!!!!! Although it says slackware this only pertains to the installtion, the rest of the book is great for any linux system, it covered everything that I ever wanted to know about my Linux system. This book is great for someone who was a "advanced user" in dos or windows before and now wants better performace out of their computer. I found this book to be great reading too, not to much tech. info that it makes your head explode, but advanced enough to get lots of work done!! This is just a great book for any linux user
