“Slackware’s setup program made itsimple to install.”– PC Week,April 1994

The Official SlackwareTM

Linux is the perfectchoice for a low-cost,high performance 32-bitmultiuser operating system for Intel386 and better. Linux, developedby Linus Torvalds and hundreds ofvolunteer programmers on theInternet, is a clone of the UNIX®

operating system.

Slackware Linux turns yourmachine into a multitaskingworkstation with a full range ofsoftware development, text editing,and image processing tools. Youeven get the popular “DOOMTM”arcade game from id SoftwareTM.What’s more, you’ll be able toconnect your machine to theInternet and use electronic mail ornews (with a supported ethernetcard, or with SLIP/PPP using astandard modem).

Patrick Volkerding createdSlackware and he also authored this

CDROM set. The package includeseverything you need to install andrun Slackware Linux.

You get complete source code andcompilers. The first CDROMcontains the easy-to-install Linuxsystem (kernel 1.2.8) and sourcecode.

The second CDROM containsarchives from popular Linux ftpsites around the Internet, such assunsite.unc.edu, and tsx-11.mit.edu.

Linux is a free software product,meaning that you can freelydistribute copies of it. Youcan make installable

Slackware floppy disk setsthat you can share with your

friends using our easy instructions.

Official Slackware Linux requires 4megabytes of memory (8 isrecommended),and at least 12megabytes of hard disk space to

run in

“Mike Newell, – with NASA ScienceInternet Network Systems ... usesFreeBSD and finds it exceedinglyreliable. Great pains are taken toensure the stability of releases,according to Newell.” – OpenSystems Today.

(FreeBSD has used a menu-systeminstaller since version 2.0.)–Unix User Magazine

However, Slackware Linux is stillprobably easier to install.Slackware Linux also supports alarger variety of hardware.

( In addition to its usefulness to users,

Slackware places importance for ease(of development) for its developers.)– Unix User Magazine

“Most system administration taskswere easy because of Slackware’swealth of documentation and itsforgiving OS.” – Infoworld, 8/95.

In both cases you’re getting acomplete developmentenvironment, C compilers, editors,all the GNU tools, and a widevariety of other system software.Both systems include XFree86 XWindow System, the number onechoice in windowing systems. (XWindow is what most commercialvendors bundle with their systems.)Both products offer basic SLIP,PPP and TCP/IP support, and bothare unbeatable values.

Never has the PC user had such arich selection of high qualityoperating systems available as freesoftware. Whether you pickSlackware Linux or FreeBSD,you’ll be highly pleased. Weunconditionally guarantee it!

Slackware Linux is veryeasy to install. You get afull release of Linux inthe form of Slackware2.3, the Internet’s most

popular Linux distribution. (By thetime you read this, version 3.0 withelf binaries will probably beshipping.) This version also runsfrom the CDROM – so you don’tneed to copy all the files.

“Linux is a UNIX clone written toPOSIX specs.Where FreeBSD feelslike 4.3-and-a-half, Linux seems likeSystem V Release 4-point-something.”–Bill Pechter, Open Systems Today.

FreeBSD is an entirely differentvariant of UNIX for the PC.FreeBSD is based on the long-termresearch efforts of the ComputerScience Research Group (CSRG) atU.C. Berkeley. The CSRG has beenreleasing operating systemstechnology in the form of their“BSD” releases over the last 10 years. (FreeBSD is now almostPOSIX-compliant.)

Commercial operating systems

from Digital EquipmentCorporation (DEC) and SUNMicrosystems had their genesis inBSD. Users of such environmentswill find FreeBSD familiar.FreeBSD tries to model itself after“commercial” operating systems;where a central group of peoplerelease updates in a highlystructured manner. Therefore,FreeBSD may be attractive to themore conservative or corporate user.

“I’ve used the 1.02, 1.1, and now the1.5.1 versions, as well as Linux, andI’ve found they’re at least as stableand reliable as SunOS 4.1.3 and HP-UX 9.” – Bill Pechter, OpenSystems Today, September 1994.

“Plenty of source code is included, asis TCP/IP networking over LAN andasync connections, telnet, ftp and NFSsupport.” – Network Computing.

“Was lange währt, wird endlich gut,mögen such die Anwender der BSD-Welt gesagt haben, als FreeBSD 2.0nach einigem Hin und Her endlichverfügbar war. Schlanker imInstallationsaufwand, binärkompatibelzu SCO Unix…”

4.4BSD-Lite™ is source codeONLY. If you love to read goodcode and tinker with your system,this is the disc for you.

This CDROM contains softwaredeveloped by the University ofCalifornia Berkeley, and itscontributors. This CDROMincludes source code and manualpages for the C library, about 95%of the utilities distributed in4.4BSD, and all but a few filesfrom the kernel. The system isalmost entirely ANSI C, IEEEPOSIX 1003.1, and 1003.2standards compliant.

The 4.4BSD-Lite distribution addssupport for several newarchitectures, including: SPARCstations 1 and 2, MIPS-based DECstation 3100, 5000, and SonyNEWS, 68000-based HP 9000/300and Omron Luna, and 386-basedPC’s. Both the HP300 and SPARCports can run native operatingsystem binaries via emulation.

Note: It is not possible to compile

or run 4.4BSD-Lite without a pre-existing system that is alreadyinstalled and running. 4.4BSD-Litedoes not contain program binariesfor any architecture.

Major new facilities include:

• a new virtual memoryimplementation derived from the MACH operating system developed at Carnegie Mellon

• a new virtual file systeminterface supporting file system stacking

• a freely redistributable version of NFS

• a new log-structured file system that provides near disk-speed output and fast crash recovery

• the conversion to the IEEE Std 1003.1 (“POSIX'') facilities. The new terminal driver is similar to the System V driver with extensions to get the functionality previously available in the 4.3 BSD terminal driver

• a new “make” allows simplified makefiles for the system software and allows compilation for multiple architectures from the same source tree

The tools you need to getthe most out of UNIX


Have you had a project where youknow the solution is possible butyou don’t know how to do it? Doyou dread testing one dead-endapproach after another? What if youhad a vast collection of code thatyou could easily search. You couldfind examples of how other peoplesolved the coding problems youface. The code collection you needis the Source Code™ CDROM

I was trying to write a program thatquickly deleted numerous filesunder MSDOS. While MSDOS doesit quickly, the C library functionfindfirst(), findnext() is pretty slow. Ilooked at the MSDOS collection onthis disc and found ten examples ofhow to delete files under DOS. Nineof them used variants of thefindfirst(), findnext() routine. One ofthem used a weird BIOS call thataccomplished exactly what DOSdoes when it deletes files quickly. Iwould never have thought of thissolution on my own.

The Source Code CDROM givesyou an enormous source code

collection to reference. You gethigh quality code from theUSENET source archives, theSimtel UNIX-C Archive, andMSDOS source code. This is600MB of source in 15,000 files.An index file in each subdirectorybriefly describes each file, makingit easy to locate files by name orsubject. Our view program lets yousearch through the index filessimilar to ‘grep’ under unix or‘find’ under DOS.

The USENET archives contain 390MB – nearly 11,000 files.Included are: the alt.sources archiveand the comp.sources archives forAmiga, Apple2, Atari-ST, games,Mac reviewed, Sun, and UNIX.Most of the code is in C.

The Simtel UNIX-C Archivecontains 130 MB of C source codein 1050 files. Most of these filesare complete working programs.The MSDOS directory contains73MB, 1900 compressed (mostlyzipped) source code packages. TheMSDOS sources are mostly C, butalso contain Turbo Pascal, BASIC,Turbo Basic, Assembly, etc.
