Slackware 15 RC1 - Setup A Multilib System With Slackpkg+

I started using Slackware in 2004 and it's been a constant on one or more of my laptops since then. It doesn't suit everyone, but as the distro that has been around longer than any other it deserves a look.

Slackware development does tend to be glacial, with the last stable version released in 2016, but the next release, Slackware 15, is now imminent.

So, time to install current, which will be the next stable release, and run through some post-configuration steps.

This will be the first in a series of videos looking at Slackware. Today I demonstrate how to update the system and use the Slackpkg+ plugin to configure a multilib syste. Next up I will be looking at the slackbuilds.org repo and how to install software from it.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
