[2024-feb-29] Sad news: Eric Layton aka Nocturnal Slacker aka vtel57 passed away on Feb 26th, shortly after hospitalization. He was one of our Wiki's most prominent admins. He will be missed.

Welcome to the Slackware Documentation Project

A start

I've added a basic outline of the philosophy and practical aspects of Slackware that might be new to users of other Linux distributions. Thoughts/ideas/improvements welcome.

Hari, this is an excellent synopsis. I could only find one minor thing that I would like to suggest that you change. In the first paragraph of the Community section you use the terms “well knit”. I believe you may be meaning to use the common English idiom “tightly knit”, meaning a closely and firmly integrated group or thing.

Regards,

~vtel

Nice article, Harishankar. One minor suggestion. Quote: “(…) scripts for many commonly used software that are not part of the official distribution (…)”. I suggest: “(…) scripts for many commonly used applications and libraries that are not part of the official distribution (…)”. Niki Kovacs Mon Aug 27 18:07:44 CEST 2012
