Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun!

<p>Before you can use Slackware Linux, you'll have to obtain and install it. Getting
|
|
Slackware is as easy as purchasing it or downloading it for free over the Internet.
|
|
Installing it is also easy as long as you have some basic knowledge about your computer
|
|
and are willing to learn a few other things. The installation program itself is very much
|
|
a step-by-step process. Because of this, you can be up and running very quickly. In fact,
|
|
Slackware boasts one of the lowest installation times of any full-featured Linux
|
|
distribution.</p>

|
|
Sets</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The official Slackware Linux CD set is available from Slackware Linux, Inc. The CD set
|
|
consists of 4 discs. The first disk contains all the software needed for a basic server
|
|
install, and the X window system. The second cd is a “live” cd; that is, a
|
|
bootable cd that installs into RAM and gives you a temporary installation to play around
|
|
with or do a data or machine rescue. This cd also contains a few packages such as the KDE
|
|
and GNOME desktop environments. A few other goodies are included on the second cd
|
|
including many non-vital packages in the “extra” folder. The third and fourth
|
|
CDs contain the source code to all of Slackware, along with the original edition of this
|
|
book.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One may also purchase a boxed set that includes the 4 discs and a copy of this book,
|
|
as well as lots of neat Slackware gear to show off your geek pride. CD subscriptions are
|
|
available at a reduced rate also.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The preferred method for shopping for Slackware merchandise is online at the Slackware
|
|
store.</p>

|
|
<p>Slackware Linux is also freely available over the Internet. You may email in your
|
|
support questions, but higher priority will be given to those who have purchased the
|
|
official CD set. With that said, we get a lot of e-mails and our time is rather limited.
|
|
Before e-mailing for support consider reading <a href="help.html">Chapter 2</a>
