Welcome to the Slackware Documentation Project

This is an old revision of the document!


Dave Woodfall

I'm a 55 year old Slackware user in the UK.

I first started computing in around 1981 on a TRS-80 Coco with 32K RAM and Extended Color BASIC. I learned BASIC and ASM and wrote a few games. In those days there were magazines with BASIC programs shared by readers, which we would type out and run.

I started using Slackware in around 2003. I have an application included in Slackware - soma, an internet radio player written in bash - and have contributed some patches for setconsolefont and slackpkg.

I maintain various Slackbuild scripts at http://slackbuilds.org and was recently invited to be an admin.

I also help out with the Studioware project: http://studioware.org

You can find some other Slackbuilds and docs on my web site: http://tty1.uk
