Linux / *nix

Compilation of Linux/Ubuntu Resources by Reddit

Slackware Linux Essentials   The slackware book is in essence a tutorial for installing and learning Slackware, which is considered to be one of the most learning intensive distributions of GNU/Linux available. There is a saying, “If you learn Redhat, you know Redhat. If you learn Slackware, you know Linux.” If you take a quick glance through the ebook, you’ll realize that anyone interested in Linux will find relevant information here such as partitioning hard drives, compiling the kernel and software. how to use bash, installing and editing windows managers and desktop environments, or managing network connections and protocols. The Slackware ebook is hands down the most important tool I came across as I began learning about Linux. -Anonymous
