ACHTUNG ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS! (original) (raw)
Hi! I am Eric Hameleers, or Alien BOB as I am called on various Slackware forums & channels. I am a long time Slackware user, part of the Slackware team, but I am not a Slackware employee. You'll find scripts I wrote here, lots of Slackware packages, their build scripts, and several articles I wrote for my Wiki of course.
All of what I make available here is not official Slackware-released software. Do not bug Pat about what you download from my homepage (other than to tell him he should include my packages in the official Slackware distribution if you like them :-)
What I do like is to get feedback! Visit my blog or my Mastodon page and tell me what you think.
Also, you will find some useful info in my dokuwiki pages at wiki.slackware.nl and the community-driven SlackDocs wiki

In case you wonder; the above image is a constant reminder to my entry into the "real world" of computers. This leaflet hung in my room when I started my first night-time job as application developer / technical sales support.
Stuff that may be of interest to you:
- My slackbuild repository (RSS feed) as well as a separate repository (RSS feed) for packages with patent issues.
- My ktown repository where I maintain packages for the bleeding edge of KDE's Plasma desktop environment.
- My presentation at T-Dose 2009 about the history of Slackware Development (and here is a video of that presentation).
- Some useful scripts I wrote (the mirror-slackware-current.sh is probably the most well-known of them).
- A set of multilib packages for Slackware64. After installing these on Slackware64, you will be able to run, and compile, 32-bit programs. Read the (online) README before installing!!
- My liveslak scripts to build an ISO file containing the Slackware Live Edition; see also my blog article and the online documentation.
Get ISO's for Slackware Live Edition here. - A mini ISO image from 50MB (old versions) to 130MB (Slackware 15.0 with UEFI support). I created these for several versions of Slackware and you can burn them to a creditcard-sized CDROM to boot, and then install the packages from an NFS server or local hard disk.
- A git repository where I keep a history of my stuff.
- A SlackBuild script generator: Alien's SlackBuild Toolkit
- A Slackware adaptation of the Easy Firewall Generator for IPTables
- My June 2024 resume
