Getting +Slackware is as easy as purchasing it or downloading it for free over the Internet. +Installing it is also easy as long as you have some basic knowledge about your computer +and are willing to learn a few other things. The installation program itself is very much +a step-by-step process. Because of this, you can be up and running very quickly. In fact, +Slackware boasts one of the lowest installation times of any full-featured Linux +distribution.</p> + +<div class="SECT1"> +<h1 class="SECT1"><a id="INSTALLATION-GETTING" name="INSTALLATION-GETTING">3.1 Getting +Slackware</a></h1> + +<div class="SECT2"> +<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN641" name="AEN641">3.1.1 The Official Disc and Box +Sets</a></h2> + +<p>The official Slackware Linux CD set is available from Slackware Linux, Inc. The CD set +consists of 4 discs. The first disk contains all the software needed for a basic server +install, and the X window system. The second cd is a “live” cd; that is, a +bootable cd that installs into RAM and gives you a temporary installation to play around +with or do a data or machine rescue. This cd also contains a few packages such as the KDE +and GNOME desktop environments. A few other goodies are included on the second cd +including many non-vital packages in the “extra” folder. The third and fourth +CDs contain the source code to all of Slackware, along with the original edition of this +book.</p> + +<p>One may also purchase a boxed set that includes the 4 discs and a copy of this book, +as well as lots of neat Slackware gear to show off your geek pride. CD subscriptions are +available at a reduced rate also.</p> + +<p>The preferred method for shopping for Slackware merchandise is online at the Slackware +store.</p> + +<p><a href="http://store.slackware.com" target="_top">http://store.slackware.com</a></p> + +<p>You can also call or e-mail your order in.</p> + +<div class="TABLE"><a id="AEN661" name="AEN661"></a> +<p><b>Table 3-1.
