### 2.1.4.2 Getting Slackware from the Internet

The Slackware release of Linux may be found on any number of FTP sites worldwide. Appendix C lists several of the Linux FTP sites; we suggest that you try to find the software on the FTP site nearest you, to reduce net traffic. However, two of the major Linux FTP archives are `sunsite.unc.edu` and `tsx-11.mit.edu`.

The Slackware release may be found at least on the following sites:

- `sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware`
- `tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/slackware`
- `ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/linux/slackware`

`ftp.cdrom.com` is Slackware's home site.
