+Running applications (@software) on Slackware... most are applicable to all distributions.
+===== 'Hidden' Application =====
+There are a couple (a few?)of applications that I thought  have great features but relatively unknown (I only knew about them after looking for specific solution). Here they are:
+  * xfig - nice app to create figures for use with latex
+  * xpaint - can do screen capture (''xpaint -snapshot'')
+===== Apache (web server) Setup =====
+Modify httpd config file:
+  * change document root to a folder my main user have full access
+    * also create a link to it from my user account
+  * allow php to be indexed => add to directory index in dir_module
+  * enable php (towards the end of the file) => include mod_php.conf
+  * enable mod_rewrite (API server?) => LoadModule ... mod_rewrite.so
+  * optional: set serveradmin email and servername
+  * optional: to only serve locally, set listen localhost:80 ???
+More modifications for https:
+  * enable loadmodule mod_ssl.so
+  * enable loadmodule mod_socache_shmcb.so
+  * generate private key:
+    * <code>openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048</code>
+    * rsa private key with 2048-bit long modulus written to file
+  * generate cert:
+    * <code>openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 1095</code>
+  * include httpd-ssl.conf
+    * modify httpd-ssl.conf accordingly...
+===== mariadb/mysql Setup =====
+  * run <code>mysql_install_db</code>
+  * make sure permision given to user //mysql// <code>chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql</code>
+  * start daemon ''rc.mysqld''
+  * run <code>/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation</code>
+  * create specific database for specific app <code>create database app_db;</code>
+  * create specific user for specific app and grant all access <code>grant all privileges on app_db.* to 'user_app'@'localhost' identified by 'pass_app';</code>
+  * just formality, run <code>flush privileges;</code>
+  * to additionally create specific user for specific app <code>create user 'user_app'@'localhost' identified by 'pass_app';</code>
+  * recover root password:
+  * stop daemon ''rc.mysqld''
+  * run <code>
+# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
+# mysql -u root
+$ mysql -uroot -p
+mysql> use mysql;
+mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD('<newpass>') where User='root';
+mysql> flush privileges;
+mysql> exit
+</code>
+Backup a DB:<code>mysqldump -p -u user userdb > userapp-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).sql</code>
+===== TeXLive Install/Setup =====
+The default tetex is usable, but it is no longer maintained and some new packages are not available.
+{{page>linux:app_texlive&noheader}}
+===== rsync server =====
+  * create ''rsyncd.conf'' in etc <file text rsync.conf>
+max connections = 2
+log file = /var/log/rsync.log
+timeout = 300
+[share]
+comment = Shared Stuff
+path = /home/share
+read only = yes
+list = yes
+hosts allow = 192.168.3.0/24
+uid = nobody
+gid = nobody
+#auth users = pub
+#secrets file = etc/rsyncd.secrets
+</file>
+    * modify subnet mask address for host allow accordingly
+  * in ''inetd.conf'' (etc), insert <code>rsync	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/bin/rsync	rsync --daemon</code>
+  * in ''services'' (etc), insert <code>rsync	873/tcp</code>
+  * create ''rsyncd.secrets'' in etc <file text rsyncd.secrets>

+===== Steam on Slack64 (in chroot32) =====
+on an x86_64 machine,
+  * install libtxc_dxtn package from slackbuilds.org (64-bit)
+  * use 'slackroot' to create 32-bit chroot environment (chroot32)
+    * target for desktop
+  * ssh into localhost to enter chroot32 as normal user
+    * remember to run 'preproot' (as root) prior to that
+    * ... and 'preproot --release' when done
+  * install packages
+    * install alien_bob's steamclient package
