Pure linux-SlackwareLinux

Article title: linux-SlackwareLinux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Currently, Linuxer in Slackware is less than Gentoo. I don't know how long Slackware can support it.

However, Patrick Volkerding, a developer of Slackware, is really amazing. he is basically the only developer in the development work, whether it is the most popular period in the past, still, only the old Linuxer and those who want to learn how the system works can continue to use Slackware. during the past 14 years, Slackware has been developing tirelessly. even if it was once seriously ill, it was a bit of fun last year, the development work has never been stopped, and it is much better than some release versions that are thunderous and have little rain

It seems that I should also learn the spirit of Volkerding.

Software description

Slackware was the most widely distributed release in 1995. It's an Elasticsearch release in Linux! For Linux veterans, Slackware means "real Linux" because it focuses on the use of the text interface and is quite stable. Therefore, they are widely welcomed by the DIY community.

However, this feature makes it a cruel challenge for beginners! Friends who are familiar with Red Hat can hardly imagine how to live without rpm!

But do you think about Linux as "free 」? Then, Slackware will be able to get rid of the constraint of the suite, restore the view that the software should have, "Tarball" out of its own Linux! No wonder Slackware has a group of loyal followers.

Slackware has a Linux Unix experience. it is a good practice for anyone who wants to know more about Linux!

Glossary: Tarball (source code compilation)

It is not clear to beginners what a Tarball is. The so-called "Tarball" is a method of compiling and installing programs based on the current Linux environment using the program's original code and the "Compiler. This is also the most primitive installation method for Linux. it applies to all releases (if you are too reluctant to manage rpm or deb )!

However, such an installation method may have to be handled by yourself (for example, some function libraries cannot be found). In addition, the installation of a large number of software may cause management problems, therefore, the rpm of Red Hat and Debian deb suite management methods emerged, and gradually became the mainstream of Linux installation software management.
