+Linux hasn't always had a great history with printers. For many years,
+printing was a black art to many Linux users, and very few printers
+worked reliably. Today, most printers will work well with Linux, but
+some still do not. If you're purchasing a new printer, be aware that
+many of the cheap inkjet models aren't as well supported in Linux as
+more expensive laser printers. If you're unsure about a printer, you
+can check online to see if others have had success with it.

+All these warnings are perhaps a bit overkill though, as the large
+majority of printers work with Linux after only a brief and simple
+setup. The progress in this direction is largely due to the efforts of
+the Common UNIX Printing System, (CUPS). CUPS is a printing system used
+by Slackware and most other Linux distributions today. It primarily uses
+a graphical setup procedure accessed via a web browser. In order to
+setup a printer with CUPS, you'll need to open a web browser such as
+firefox, konqueror, or links and go to

+From this point onward, setting up a printer is just a series of
+following the step-by-step instructions with CUPS, but a few areas
+merit some clarification.

+<title>ext4</title>
+
+<para>
+ext4 is the latest in the ext series of filesystems. It was designed to
+build upon ext3 with new ideas on what filesystems should do. While
+Slackware supports ext4, you should remember that this filesystem is
+still very new (particularly in file system terms) and is under heavy
+development. If you require stability over performance, you may wish to
+use a different filesystem such as ext3. With that said, ext4 does
+boast some major improvements over ext3 in the performance arena, but
+many people don't yet trust it for stable use.
