New Slackware Handbook Released

Posted by timothy on Monday May 16, 2005 @08:43AM from the slacking-does-not-mean-dozing dept.

Rob_Ogilvie writes "Alan Hicks and his team have finished revising the old 'Slackware Essentials' book and have now released a new and not outdated version for all you Slackware users out there. The old book was getting to be quite outdated, being a few years old. For those of you who like dead trees, this new version is available for pre-order now, in dead-tree format."

That's absurd.

cfdisk is provided and has been for quite some time, and X.org has been included since 10.0. A simple X -configure generates a good config for many machines. Your claims are more or less baseless.
