Congrats. If you have any Slackware questions, please feel free to contact me, even off list. I've been using Slackware at home for 20+ years; and, though I may not have all the answers, I can point you in the right direction. Besides https://docs.slackware.com/ there are also a few other helpful sites. I have Slackware64-current running on 2 boxes here so I can double check any glitches you may experience. Be aware that Slackware64-current is the testing branch and is a bit of a moving target. version 1.3.0 of the Live version is a about 2 months behind the source tree (think "rolling release"). I have Slackware64-current running on 2 boxes here so I can double check any glitches you may experience. Changelog: http://www.slackware.com/changelog/ Community provided software is on Slackware-14.2 the stable branch. Most will compile fine; issues mostly with GTK+3, Python3, QT5, and a few other core packages that are much newer in -Current due to some ABI/API changes. http://www.slackbuilds.org/ http://www.studioware.org/ Have fun!
