• The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities.
• Slackware ARM aims to fulfill the following requirement: Provide official support for some commonly available hardware, and allow the community to support 'device du jour'. So even on an 'unsupported' ARM device, the majority (if not all) Slackware ARM packages will run on the device, you will need a specific Linux kernel for your device.

This is where the Slack hops in, solving this giant problem. It's a cloud-based instant messaging application or I should say a platform now, developed by Slack Technologies.

Features of Slack

• Organized chat rooms
• Private groups
• Direct messaging
• Content sharing (any file)
• Search option
• Emoji buttons for instant reactions to messages

It allows members to join the team or community using a specific Slack URL or via an invitation, replacing the old fashioned emails.

Slack being a platform integrates with hundreds of third-party services. Additionally, it has an API for custom applications & process automation. The application is for all the major platforms like Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and web.

As Slack is being developed for organization communication, the business model is pretty straight forward. For free you get limited features and a limit on the messages that you can view (10,000 recent messages only). On upgrading, you get group calls, screen sharing, unlimited 3rd party apps, better search, all messages access, etc.
