It seems as though the number of Linux-related web sites almost doubles
each day. Most sites duplicate information and others focus on specific
issues. The links below go to sites that we feel are important
and useful Linux-related web sites.
LinuxQuestions.org - "Where newbies come for help!"
This site runs our favorite Slackware questions forum. If you have
general Slackware-related questions or need help, this is a great
place to join in discussions with a user community that's friendly
and eager to help.
Linux Documentation Project
These people are great at explaining how to do things through their
famous HOWTO documents.
Linux Weekly News
Published every Thursday, Linux Weekly News is an excellent
source of news for the Linux community. Everything from
kernel development to commercial announcements is covered.
The Official Slackware Store
This is store.slackware.com, the official online store for the Slackware
Linux Project. Here you can purchase the latest release of Slackware, sign
up for a Slackware subscription, or check out other Slackware products like
stickers, T-shirts, buttons, and more. All your purchases here help support
the Slackware project!
Slashdot.org
Currently the central web-based forum for geeks (especially
Linux geeks), Slashdot offers daily news from the computing industry
and the open source world, plus a comments forum always packed with
discussions of the day's news.
Freshmeat.net
This site is updated daily with information about new software and new
versions of old software. It also has a searchable ``AppIndex'' with
links and information to just about all major Linux applications.
Linux.com
Linux.com is a site sponsored by VA Linux Systems. A sort
of community magazine site, it's full of news, interviews, and columns.
Hacker Stickers
A company called "Hacker Stickers" sent me some nice Slackware sticker
samples after asking if they could use the logo (which I agreed to at
no cost, since I thought they were offering a good value to Slackware
users). Live and learn, it seems I was a little more likely to get my
order shipped than most people. Here's a review I found:
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Hacker_Stickers
I found more like this with a bit of searching. If someone from this
business cares to get ahold of us and ship the orders we've heard were
never sent, we might consider restoring a link, but our good faith has
been worn a bit thin. My advice is to not order from them.
Sorry if anyone took this link as an endorsement and didn't get what
they ordered. :-(
