Compiling audacious 3.1
I’m a big fan of classic media players (audacious, xmms, the old winamp, etc.) That’s why I wanted today to complile the latest version of audacious (3.1) for my slackware laptop.

Network interface bonding in Slackware (version 13.1)
A backup NAS I set up for a client had some problems – i.e. from time to time the network card would hang forcing a reboot (the machine was headless). The disks in the nas are RAID 1 providing redundancy in case of failure. We wanted the same with the network. So, nothing easier...

I’m an avid Slackware user. It was the distro I started using back in ’98 and, even if I tried and used many others I still like it the most. Anyways these rules apply to many other flavours of linux. One of the problems I faced is needing to make changes on inherited machines...
