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.

+ +
+

3.1 Getting +Slackware

+ +
+

3.1.1 The Official Disc and Box +Sets

+ +

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 “live” 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 “extra” folder. The third and fourth +CDs contain the source code to all of Slackware, along with the original edition of this +book.

+ +

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.

+ +

The preferred method for shopping for Slackware merchandise is online at the Slackware +store.

+ +

+ +

You can also call or e-mail your order in.

3.1.2 Via the Internet

+ +

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 Chapter 2 +first.

+ +

The official Slackware Linux Project website is located at:

+ +

http://www.slackware.com/

+ +

The primary FTP location for Slackware Linux is:

+ +

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/

+ +

Bear in mind that our ftp site, while open for general use, does not have unlimited +bandwidth. Please consider using a mirror near you to download Slackware. An incomplete +list of mirrors can be found on our site at http://www.slackware.com/getslack.
