+Slackware Linux may be one of the oldest surviving Linux distributions
+but that does not mean it has to be left behind. While Slackware does
+aim to maintain it's traditional UNIX roots and values, there is no
+escaping "progress". Subsystems change, Window Managers come and go and
+new ways are devised to manage the complexities of a modern OS.
+While we do resist change for changes sake, it's inevitable that as
+things evolve documentation becomes stale and books are no exception.
