The Official Linux Slackware turns your machine
into a
powerful 32-bit multitasking 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 maintainer of Slackware, authored
this CDROM set. The first CDROM contains the easy to install
Linux system (kernel 2.0.35), full source code, and a live
Linux file system. The second CDROM contains Linux archives
and a fully installed, ready-to-run Linux system. Just pop
the disc into any bootable CDROM drive and you can
test-drive Linux on your machine (including the X Window
System) in seconds! The third and fourth CDROMs contain
software carefully selected from the best Internet Linux
archive sites.
The Official Linux Slackware requires 8 MB of memory, 12 MB
of hard disk space (for a CDROM dependent installation), and
a 3.5O floppy disk or bootable CDROM drive. For better
performance, install Slackware Linux to your hard disk using
40 to 400 MB. A basic installation with C/C++, development
tools, networking, the X Window System (v. 3.3.2), and
several applications uses 180 MB. For a full installation, a
500 MB (or larger) partition is recommended.
A full installation includes teTeX TeX, GNU
C/C++/Objective-C (egcs-1.0.3, gcc-2.7.2.3, and gcc-2.8.1),
GNU Fortran-77 (v. 0.5.23), Tcl (v. 8.0p2), Tk (v. 8.0p2),
TclX (v. 8.0.2), make, byacc and GNU bison, flex, the 5.4.46
C libraries (and a version of the experimental glibc
libraries), gdb, GNU common LISP (v. 2.2.2), p2c (Pascal to
C), m4, perl (v. 5.005_02), rcs, emacs (v. 20.3), TCP/IP
networking, SLIP/PPP, IP accounting and firewalls, Java SDK,
BSD sendmail (v. 8.9.1), inn, cnews, nn, tin, trn, fvwm95,
XF86Setup, ghostscript, xv (v. 3.10a), GNU chess, TkDesk (v.
1.0), gnuplot, xfractint, the Apache HTTP (WWW) server (v.
1.3.3), Lynx (v. 2.8), and Netscape Communicator.
The Official Linux Slackware is compatible with most PC
hardware & supports most CDROM drives, sound, ethernet, and
mice. The advanced 2.0.35 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 386, 486, Pentium,
Pentium Pro, and Pentium II.
Join the hundreds of thousands of other Slackware users
around the world who have found a better way to compute.
