| "Salix OS is a Slackware derived distribution that..." I think we should re-phrase this sentence in Package management section, because paragraph is about packages and tools and then last sentence is about another Linux distribution (I know it's about Salix packages but word order suggest something different) . I suggest something like "You can also use packages from Salix OS, a Slackware derived distribution that incorporates dependency handling. Website can be found here: http://www.salixos.org/" --- //[[wiki:user:yenn|Yenn]] 2012/08/24 17:37// | "Salix OS is a Slackware derived distribution that..."

| >> I went ahead and moved the headers up one level so they're a bit bigger. FAQ sections are still prominent. Deleted some horizontal rules that "boxed in" the FAQ sections. The table of contents looks pretty organized this way, too. Any thoughts? --- //[[wiki:user:gerardo.zamudio|Gerardo Zamudio]] 2012/08/26 20:08// | >> I went ahead and moved the headers up one level so they're a bit bigger. FAQ sections are still prominent.

| | >>> Headings serve a purpose for document structure. I suggest we keep the correct heading levels viz. h1 for main topic heading, h2 for sections and h3 for subsections and so on. **Edited to add: Your heading levels look fine to me**. -- Harishankar |

| | In the "Why doesn't Slackware Linux have my favourite "XYZ" software included in the CD/DVD?", delete this sentence: "Be it so, Slackware still packages a large number of commonly used software that are be needed by most users.", please. --- //[[nowbrians@yahoo.co.uk|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/08/27 02:39// |
| | |
| | Ignore last remark, I'll edit that line. --- //[[nowbrians@yahoo.co.uk|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/08/27 03:03// |

| | I can see a section dealing with the speed of Slackware boot up has been added. The author / poster may also consider mentioning the Lilo's ''compact'' option. |
| | --- //[[wiki:user:sycamorex|sycamorex]] 2012/08/31 21:46// |
| | > I added that section. Please feel absolutely free to improve upon it. I myself don't use LILO, so I didn't know the options in LILO. Anybody with knowledge of LILO may improve it as far as I am concerned. --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/08/31 19:48// |

| | Harishankar, have you then removed the section? I can't see it |

| | > No it's still here: [[slackware:faq#why_does_slackware_take_so_long_to_boot_up|Why does Slackware take so long to boot up?]] I see that somebody else has added more content to it. --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/09/01 00:55// |

| | ===== Present Contributors of Slackware Linux? ===== |
| | |
| | I have added a list of names mentioned by Patrick in the LQ.org interview as present contributors. Please feel free to add names which I might have left out due to my ignorance. --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/08/31 21:21// |

| | |
| | In the section "Why doesn't Slackware's package manager do dependency handling?", change "number" to "amount" in "A significant number of Open Source software...". --- //[[wiki:user:brianl|Brian Lawrence]] 2012/09/01 03:15// |
| | >I changed it to "several popular open source applications". Reads a bit better in my view. --- //[[wiki:user:vharishankar|Harishankar]] 2012/09/01 04:01// |
