Pimp my Slack!

| I am a KDE fan. Besides the eye-candy, I love 
| the KDE apps. They are much better at 
| functionality than their Gnome counterparts, 
| e.g-> Brasero in Gnome has caused a lot of 
| burn failures, whereas K3b is just perfect. 
| Gnome just gets in your way of doing things. 
| Anyway, this article is about what I did with 
| my default Slackware install to make it more 
| beautiful. Before I proceed let me tell you, 
| I will be using Slackware 13.0 with vbatts 
| KDE4.3.1 packages, but that shouldnât be a 
| problem for you if you are using any other 
| KDE version!

A look at LinuxConsole 1.0.2009

,----[ Quote ]
| At the end of the week, I found myself liking 
| LinuxConsole. It's not perfect, but it has a 
| clean way of doing things. The modular design 
| is well done and the system is very light. 
| The range of functionality is good for a mere 
| 200 MB download and I'm sure my experience 
| would have gone even smoother had I 
| downloaded the DVD image, which contains all 
| the bells and whistles. There are a few 
| things I'd like to see worked on for the next 
| release, the most important area probably 
| being documentation. Some basic things are 
| covered on the web site, but for the most 
| part, the user is left to click on things to 
| find out what will happen.

List of Slackware-based mini Distributions.

| The need of such a list came when I was

KDE 4.3.2 now official in Slackware

,----[ Quote ]
| Some time back we had reported a way to have
| KDE 4.3 on Slackware Current using vbatt's
| packages, since KDE 4.3 was still not
| official on Slackware. Now, you no longer
| have to depend on third-party packages for
| KDE 4.3.2 on Slcakware. It has become
| official.
