+
+<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 &#8220;live&#8221; 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 &#8220;extra&#8221; 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>
