SlackWare Linux 4 Unleashed shows you how to install, configure, and manage the latest version of SlackWare Linux. The book provides expert advice on installation and configuration, programming, administration and networking. It also provides wisdom and insights on how to control some of the more difficult-to-use aspects of SlackWare, like integrating SlackWare into Microsoft networks. Everything you need to know to use Slackware to set up an Internet site is covered. SlackWare Linux 4 Unleashed will also have coverage of working with open-source databases, and will cover programming in several languages and shells in detail.
My friend Russ Wenner, of the Techie Geek podcast, gave me this book at a technical convention and I read it voraciously not because I intended to read it from cover to cover, but because it's just that good! It covers SO much more than just Slackware; it's an amazing intro to all things Linux/Unix and it's still one of my go-to reference books.
