New Slackware Handbook Released 24
Rob_Ogilvie writes "Alan Hicks and his team have finished revising the old 'Slackware Essentials' book and have now released a new and not outdated version for all you Slackware users out there. The old book was getting to be quite outdated, being a few years old. For those of you who like dead trees, this new version is available for pre-order now, in dead-tree format."

cfdisk is provided and has been for quite some time, and X.org has been included since 10.0. A simple X -configure generates a good config for many machines. Your claims are more or less baseless.

That's not a bug; it's a feature. Seriously.
The book isn't intended for a file and print server admin. It's intended to introduce newbies to GNU/Linux in general, and Slackware in particular. If you're already capable of running your own file and print server, you're probably past the scope of the book.
