Slackersbible
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
The Slackware Handbook is a project coordinated and hosted by Mad Penguin in an effort to keep Slackware documentation as up-to-date as possible. This is accomplished by creating a format in which the entire Slackware community can take part in the process by being capable of adding/editing content as they see fit.
Make sure to check the submission queue and vote on content that others have created. All it takes is two votes to promote their work to the book (and alternately one to dump it). It's equally important to verify content as well checking for spelling mistakes that might be in the posts before you post any content to the site. This makes our job easier as well as the jobs of those who will need to revise your work.
Have Fun!!!

[edit] License
For the purpose of licensing this project we chose to use the license from the FreeBSD Handbook for two reasons. First and foremost, we wanted to tip our hat to those that have worked so hard to make the FreeBSD Handbook one of the most complete technical documents in the world. Second, we want to make sure that our work is also able to be expanded upon and shared by anyone who can find value in its contents.
