What is Slackware Linux?
The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an
advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease
of use and stability as top priorities. Including the latest popular
software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity
and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the
best of all worlds to the table.
Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991, the UNIX?like Linux
operating system now benefits from the contributions of millions of
users and developers around the world. Slackware Linux provides new
and experienced users alike with a fully-featured system, equipped to
serve in any capacity from desktop workstation to machine-room server.
Web, ftp, and email servers are ready to go out of the box, as are a
wide selection of popular desktop environments. A full range of
development tools, editors, and current libraries is included for
users who wish to develop or compile additional software.
The Slackware Philosophy
Since its first release in April of 1993, the Slackware Linux Project
has aimed at producing the most "UNIX-like" Linux distribution out
there. Slackware complies with the published Linux standards, such as
the Linux File System Standard. We have always considered simplicity
and stability paramount, and as a result Slackware has become one of
the most popular, stable, and friendly distributions available.
Slackware Overview
Slackware Linux is a complete 32-bit multitasking "UNIX-like" system.
It's currently based around the 2.2 Linux kernel series and the GNU C
Library version 2.1.2 (libc6). It contains an easy to use installation
program, extensive online documentation, and a menu-driven package
system. A full installation gives you the X Windows System, C/C++
development environments, Perl, networking utilities, a mail server, a
news server, a web server, an ftp server, the GNU Image Manipulation
Program, Netscape Communicator, plus many more programs. And Slackware
Linux can run on 386 systems all the way up to the latest x86
machines.
