Are there any books on Slackware (preferably available on-line) that are
fairly up-to-date? I've seen a few that seem useful, but most of them are a
bit old and out of date.

TIA,
Ian

Thoser older books are a nice source of info to learn the basics. /usr/doc
is about the best reference in my opinion, hard to get any more up to date
than that.

Slackware Linux Essentials is slightly out of date, but should get you
up to speed on the Slackware specifics.

There's also a project to update this book, which has some new and
updated chapters.

There's a tutorial listed in this NG's FAQ, which you might like.

Have you looked at the books available at store.slackware.com ... I
don't think you can get any more official than that (and it helps
support SLack)
