My opinion exactly. I started the same way back Slackware 7.1.

As has been pointed out, a lot of great info on just about every subject
is available in The Linux Documentation Project <http://tldp.org>. I also
want to point out that all of the HOWTOs & FAQs from TLDP are included in Slackware in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs & /usr/doc/Linux-FAQs.
Also, the SAMBA package for Slackware includes a ton of documentation on
setup SAMBA, including the book "Using Samba, 2nd Edition". The easiest way
to get to this using SWAT (Samba Web Administration Tool), which is also the
best way to administer SAMBA. To enable SWAT, edit /etc/inetd.conf &
uncomment the line for swat. Then find inetd's PID with 'ps -A' & send it
SIGHUP with `kill -HUP <pid>`. Then open your preferred webbrowser & go to
<http://localhost:901>.
