Where new Slackers may want to start............

In my early experiences with Slackware I had trouble finding information and people. So this post is going to try to point people in the right direction for information and general resources. I am going to skip the usual how to install Slackware as this is easily found, and found about everywhere you could imagine. This post aims to provide a post installation answer to "now what". I apologize to the more seasoned Linux users for some of these links, which of some will be aimed at complete newbies to Linux in general, I feel the need to provide. So without any further ado, heres some links.

• Slackware.com - Self explanatory
• Distrowatch.com - A useful source of new Linux/BSD distros, and news.
• Slashdot.org - News for nerds.
• tuXfiles.org - Great general Linux info.
• Phoronix.com - Linux/Solaris news and info.
• linuxquestions.org - The official Slackware forum resides here along with allot of other useful info
• SlackBuilds.org - A highly recommended source of Slackware build scripts which is infinitively invaluable in adding your own software packages, which you create, which is the preferred method by many, in adding new software.
• #slackware irc channel - This should also be self explanatory.
• Google.com/linux - Seen by many as God himself, google is your friend.

• RTFM - A slogan you may become familiar with, "read the freaking manual!" learn to use the man command and read the corresponding information before asking questions anywhere. Any Linux user will appreciate someone who seeks out their own answers before adding to the chaos of a already busy community.

I hope that these links will not only help you, but will become regular destinations in your travels of the information super highway.
