Welcome to Slackware 10.0!

Slackware 10.0 is a complete distribution of the Linux operating system.

This version contains the 2.4.26 Linux kernel, plus recent versions of these
(and many more) software packages:

- C compiler             gcc-3.3.4 and gcc-3.4.0
- Binutils               2.15.90.0.3
- GNU C Library          glibc-2.3.2
- X Window System        X11R6.7.0 from X.Org.
- KDE                    3.2.3
- GNOME                  2.6.1

For installation instructions, see the file 'Slackware-HOWTO'.

These are some of the important files and directories found on the Slackware
FTP site:

   ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.0/

If you're reading this on a CD-ROM, these directories will probably be
split across several discs.

    |                    with X, but is otherwise fairly complete, including
    |                    many networking tools.  The package management tools
