    Welcome. You picked a heck of a starter distribution there. You'll learn a lot about Linux installing Slackware, but don't expect it to be easy.

    I started with Slackware as well. Don't give up on it. You'll gain insights of some of the true fundamentals of Linux that many users of 'easier' distributions don't seem to grasp.

    starting with slackware? no problem. Just read the instructions, and prepare another computer that's online for googling

    welcome from another "newbie". since i'm new in here too and i also use slack, i thought it would be just fine to introduce myself in this thread.

    i've used some distros in the past, and after some time i've decided to go back into the *nix world. now i'm using slack on my desktop and everything's good so far
