-A week ago on Jeremy's LinuxQuestions.org, Niki Kovacs ([[http://docs.slackware.com/wiki:user:kikinovak | kikinovak]]) made a post suggesting the need for a centrally located compendium of Slackware Linux documentation that could be compiled, maintained, and archived for use by all. This posting mobilized the hardcore Slackware user community at LQ.org to post suggestions and criticisms regarding this topic. Thanks to Mr. Eric Hameleers (Alien Bob), a Slackware Linux Core Team member and Mr. Niki Kovacs, an IT professional and creator of [[http://www.microlinux.fr/|Microlinux]], the dream of many a Slacker for the past 19 years has become a reality.+Recently, on Jeremy's LinuxQuestions.org, Niki Kovacs ([[http://docs.slackware.com/wiki:user:kikinovak | kikinovak]]) made a post suggesting the need for a centrally located compendium of Slackware Linux documentation that could be compiled, maintained, and archived for use by all.
