Running Slackware Linux 14
Along with these applications, Slackware has added recent popular updates to many of its existing
applications and facilities (Firefox, Thunderbird, XFCE, and many others). To work with software
packages in Slackware 12.0, the distribution now includes the Slackware Package Browser. This
Web application enables you to search a Slackware packages database, making it much easier than
it was in the past to find the Slackware software you want.
Hardware Requirements
While some older versions of Slackware will run on a 386, the Slackware site recommends 486 as a
minimum processor. Without a graphical interface (X Window System), the minimum amount of
RAM required is 16MB. With the GUI, at least 128MB of RAM is recommended. If you intend to
use the KDE desktop environments, you can't have too much RAM (KDE in Slackware runs effectively
with 256MB RAM or more, depending on your applications).
The ZipSlack distribution is a small Slackware distribution that you can install from a Zip drive or
floppy disks. ZipSlack can install on a hard disk with as little as 100MB space.
