Dont know what slackware is?

What is Slackware Linux?

The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities. Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the best of all worlds to the table.

Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991, the UNIX®-like Linux operating system now benefits from the contributions of millions of users and developers around the world. Slackware Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a fully-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity from desktop workstation to machine-room server. Web, ftp, and email servers are ready to go out of the box, as are a wide selection of popular desktop environments. A full range of development tools, editors, and current libraries is included for users who wish to develop or compile additional software.

Now, onto it

If you truly wish to learn more about Linux, this guide will certainly get you familiar with it and you'll come to love your Slack system. It teaches you everything about Linux along each step. The system makes other popular distros look like children's toys so take this as fair warning that it won't be easy at first.

This is the kinda shit that pisses me off. "google it if you dont know" and "if you dont know what slack is, dont even bother trying thats the point". So what if someone doesn't know what it is tell them that's why you make tuts

If you guys don't know what slackware it, use google. You can learn by yourself because you probably don't know what linux or its many versions even are. Hawk's not being a douche, he just doesn't want to have to babbysit and explain every little thing. He took a lot of time to teach us how to install something that is very difficult to understand, he obviously doesn't have the time to go over every little thing.

I, personally, have been looking to install this for a long time but have had no clue as to where I should start.
