Slackermedia Handbook
======================
Slackermedia is documentation providing the information you need to create a full multimedia studio running on Slackware Linux. Its philosophy is to use only the best and most stable multimedia content creation tools that Linux has to offer. This not a beta testing exercise or a development platform; unproven technology need not apply. This is building a studio so you can forget about the tools and get down to creating cool stuff.
The Online Edition
----------------------
Previous versions of Slackermedia were published as books or ebooks; this all-new handbook is intended to be an ongoing up-to-date look at the process of building and using Slackware as a multimedia production environment.
Typographical Conventions
----------------------------
This text attempts to follow common conventions in technical documentation. Most of it will be intuitive, but to be clear:
''Monotype''
*application names
*commands
*filename
**Boldface**
*gui elements: labels, tabs, buttons, window_titles
*Keywords, jargon, or important phrases
//Italics//
*Emphasis
**Alerts**
Alert box
Important information that, if ignored, will cause something to fail.
**Important**
Important box
Information that could confuse new users, but that will probably be common knowledge to experts. Pay special attention to these notices to level up.
**Tip**
Tip box
Optional information that often represents what the authors and other users of Slackermedia do, but may or may not be useful to you, depending on your personal style.
**TL;DR**
Too Long; Didn't Read
For the impatient. These boxes sum up the contents of a chapter or section. If you only need a reminder of what to do, go straight to these boxes. If you are a new user, these can be useful summaries, but you should still read //everything//.
