If you're reading this, you've probably just read my HOWTO Install Slackware post.  This article assumes you have read that.  Or that you've managed to install Slackware on your own.First, have you rebooted after the install?  Slackware doesn't force you to do this after you install, so be sure you do that before you start attempting to se...

If you're reading this you already want to install Slackware. If you are reading this to be convinced to install Slackware, stop here because I'm not selling anything.  Just telling anyone who wants to know how they can install Slackware.I'm assuming you can download the iso and burn it on your own.  Or purchase it.Warning:  I am not an expert...

I was looking at Slackware based distros last night, just to broaden my knowledge of what's out there aside from Slackware proper, Slackintosh, and Slax, and came across NimbleX.  They are having a logo competition.  I was itching for an excuse to play around in inkscape.  So I whipped up some logo ideas.  I don't know if they'll want them, bu...

WHATIS:scp is a Secure CoPy, akin to ssh.  A convenient but encrypted way to move files from machine to machine on your network.A REALLY GOOD HOWTO:Linux Tutorials Blog ...or you can read my very brief but-it-does-the-trick HOWTO:(I do recommend you check out the HOWTO on Linux Tutorial Blog at some point for all the cool tricks you can do with scp)The sy...

On the X11-users Apple mailing list, it's a known issue that X11 in Leopard is broken.  So this post is basically pointless....but:Actually, it's not X11 that is broken.  I mean, who's problem is this, really?  Is it X11's probem?  I don't think so.  Their software works fine.  I know because I use it HARD when I'm at home on Linux...

Called out sick today because I didn't feel like going in to work, and as a result got A LOT done!  Further proof that without pointless employment, a person can be quite productive:1. Played with mplayer, read lots of documentation (prep for next HPR episode..?)2. Did two or three spec boot screens and wallpaper art for slast, the live asterisk l...

So I got round to thinking it'd be cool to have portable slackware.  first checked out zipslack, the official minimal install of slackware......except that it isn't.  It's a way to get the basic installer onto a USB drive or other small media so you can boot into an installer, then continue installing via network or whatever.Next option, obvio...

MBR Some notes about Linux installs.   Through a series of troublesome installations, I have discovered a few important things about the Master Boot Record.  (I've also found out some cool things about kernels and how they relate to file systems, but more on that later.)   The Master Boot Record (MBR) is written on the very edge of the harddrive; it i...
