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.
The official Slackware Linux CD set is available from Slackware, Inc.
By purchasing the official disc set, you get the convenience of a CD
installation, installation support via email, a 30-page installation
booklet, and more. The Slackware box set includes the CD set, plus the
official Slackware Linux manual. Perhaps most importantly, purchasing
the disc set is an excellent way to directly support the Slackware Linux
Project (and help us buy nachos).
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.
