Welcome to the Slackware Documentation Project

This is an old revision of the document!


Hi! My name is Bojan and I am not good in introductions, so I will (try to?) keep it to minimum. :)

My first contact with Linux was in 1999 or 2000. It was an article in a local computer magazine. I first got a chance to try it in 2001. It was something called Winlinux. Very soon I switched to Red Hat. I was unlucky to not have a PC between 2003 and 2005. In 2005 I got a new one and continued exploring. At first I tried Suse, than Debian, and finally at the end of the same year, settled with Slack. Same year I became a moderator of the Linux section of a large internet forum/community in Serbia. That is how I first tried Slack - by the recommendation of another moderator. It seems Slackware was invisible for computer media. They mostly covered Red hat, Mandrake, Suse and Knoppix. The history is repeating today, only the names changed. Anyways, I was hooked and have been a Slacker ever since.

I don't have a serious writing background, but I did write an article for a print edition of "Digital" computer magazine (november of 2009). it was a 3-page article on Linux desktop environments.

From 2011 and onwards I am one of the coordinators of Serbian Slackware community Slackware Srbija.
