How do I use Slackware

At home I use it for typical things:

BOINC

I run BOINC on a Thinkpad W541. These are the projects I projects I run:

• World Community Grid
• Rosetta@home

I have BOINC setup to only execute one Task at a time. This avoids overheating the CPU.

Development:

I use Slackware to develop and test my own utilities and to test objects I have developed at work for use on AIX. This ensures objects I create for work will also compile and work on Slackware.

My Main Utilities:

• Emacs
• Xgammon
• Xmahjongg
• amfora and bombadillo for gemini
• lynx, for some pages and gopher
• mplayer, play music streams from SOMA and Echos of Blue Mars.
• nethack, locally and via: "ssh nethack@hardfought.org" and "ssh nethack@alt.org".
• rogue
• tcsh
• tmux
• urxvt256c, the terminal I use
• vim and gvim
• vtwm, the Window manager I use
• xclock
• xconsole, I have cron jobs echoing info to it.
