- Slackware is heavy-duty for mid-size businesses and departments but
- user-friendly enough for home users. - Info World
-
- Official Slackware Linux turns your machine into a powerful 32-bit
- multi-tasking workstation. Linux is a Unix clone, developed by Linus Torvalds
- and thousands of volunteers on the Internet.
-
- Develop programs with a full range of software development, text editing, and
- image processing tools. Play popular games. Connect your machine to the
- Internet and set up a WWW site, use electronic mail, and read netnews.
-
- Patrick Volkerding, the author of Slackware, authored this CDROM. The first
- CDROM contains the easy-to-install Linux system (kernel 2.0.29), source code
- and a live Linux file system. Recompile with complete source code! For the
- other CDROMs, Patrick carefully selected the best software from Internet Linux
- archives.
-
- Official Slackware Linux requires 4-8 MB of memory and 12 MB of hard disk. For
- better performance, install Slackware Linux to your hard disk using 40 to 300
- MB. An installation with C/C++, development tools, networking, the XFree86 X
- Window System (v 3.2), and several applications uses 80 MB.
-
- A fuller installation includes teTeX TeX, GNU C/C++/Objective-C/Fortran-77 (v.
- 2.7.2.1), Tcl (v. 7.5), Tk (v. 4.1), TclX (v. 7.5.0), make, byacc and GNU
- bison, flex, the 5.4.23 C libraries, gdb, GNU Common LISP (v. 2.2.1), p2c
- (Pascal to C), m4, perl (v. 5.003), rcs, emacs (v. 19.34), TCP/IP networking,
- SLIP/PPP, IP accounting and firewalls, kernel Java support and Java SDK, BSD
- sendmail (v. 8.8.5), cnews, nn, tin, trn, inn, fvwm95-2, XF86Setup,
- ghostscript, xv 3.10a, GNU chess, xfm 1.3.2, gnuplot, xfractint, the Apache
- HTTP (www) server (v. 1.1.3), and the Arena and Lynx Web browsers.
-
- Slackware Linux is compatible with most Intel PC hardware & supports most
- CDROM drives, sound, ethernet, and mice. The advanced 2.0.29 kernel will
- provide stellar performance on high-end systems, including support for
- symmetric multi-processing (up to 16 processors), PCI, and special code
- optimizations for the 486, Pentium, and Pentium Pro.
-
- Join the hundreds of thousands of other Slackware users around the world who
- have found a better way to compute!
-
- Among the leading Unix (World Wide Web) servers. - PC Magazine
