A slackware package can contain whatever you want it to contain. All you need to do is build your install/* and var/log/setup scripts to do what you need. If you want to distribute source as a slackpack, then do so and write your doinst.sh, setup.*, etc. to do what you need them to do (configure, compile, install, make clean, etc.). Theoretically, you could even create a slackpack that just contains scripts to connect to some server somewhere, download the files it needs, compile them (if necessary), install them, and then clean up after itself.
make your own slackware packages!

Kobo – Unboxed & Linux Friendly | Dawning.ca
I’ve recently acquired myself a Kobo eReader. Read on to learn of my initial experiences, thoughts and reactions.. For those who remain unaware of what an ereader is… They are little device designed to replace physical books. The key to success of the major ereaders (of which the ipad is NOT included) is the use of a completely distinct display technology called E-Ink . The important detail about that is that things displayed on E-Ink look just as though they were printed on paper.Video
Mechanical Engineering Useful Software in Linux
So, as usual, I've no wrote in this space for a long time, but today, as my daughter sleeps like a baby (10 months :P), I've got the time for some writings.. So since my last post, I've acquired a new 13" laptop to replace the good old asus eee 701, I needed a small, fast and good pc for some of my engineering work. Just in short lines the PC is an Acer Travelmate 8371, and Linux Mint Debian Edition runs very smooth.... only one thing does not work at all, and that is the fingerprint reader, which I don't care at all.. One of the most important things for me in laptops is battery (6 hours) and suspend (all ACPI events works out of the box. Even the intel wireless card work without problems...So I'm very pleased with this little and robust machine... So, back on the post title....
QEMU is a fairly complete x86 emulator that lets you run one operating system under another. Currently it is best supported under Linux where it can host numerous other OSes . This guide looks are running Windows XP under QEMU on Debian Linux. Note: although Debian is free you must have a license for the copy of Windows XP you will be running. Installing QEMU

Inter-Process Communications
Inter-Process Communications Caveat: The material in this topic uses the os.fork() function which is not available under Microsoft Windows. (One reason is that Windows, compared to Unix, is very slow to create new processes so that in practice you would never use fork() even if you could! There is another solution to this problem - threading - that works on both Unix and Windows which we will cover in a later topic.)

Using variables as a matching pattern on a sed expression can be tricky. Take a look at the examples below. Here's the value for PATH and HOME on this example system: $ echo $PATH /home/victor/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games $ echo $HOME /home/victor Let's say we would like to use the value of HOME to change the string “/home/victor/bin” to “/bin”.

7.8. Using MEncoder to create VCD/SVCD/DVD-compliant files
7.8.1. Format Constraints MEncoder is capable of creating VCD, SCVD and DVD format MPEG files using the libavcodec library. These files can then be used in conjunction with vcdimager or dvdauthor to create discs that will play on a standard set-top player. The DVD, SVCD, and VCD formats are subject to heavy constraints. Only a small selection of encoded picture sizes and aspect ratios are available.7.8.1.
