Slackware Linux Essentials

Rating:
Summary: Exactly that the Essentials Needed!
Review: I know absolutly nothing about linux. Using this book I was able to install and configure linux slackware. It was very easy reading and quick to the point. [...] Only complaint is I want to learn more. But I have learned no book contains all the info I'll ever need.

Summary: an even-handed approach
Review: This book is presently being revised by the Slackware team and the new will include information that is a bit more pertinent to some of the more recent releases of Slackware. In spite of that, this book was excellently written to start with and still presents and easy-to-follow presentation of the installation. It is a great to start whether you are just beginning or are coming to linux from a former experience with System V or Solaris. I highly recommend this book. (Only four stars because it is more germaine to the older releases.)
