I had the same book and Slackware 2.0 was also my first distro. I think the book is still in some box at my parent's house.
I remember trying to figure out how to compile the kernel for everything in my desktop.

The computer I used Slackware 2.0 on, was a Pentium 90 with 32MB RAM, 512MB HDD, Trident with a 1024x768 max, IDE CD-CDROM and Sound Blaster. Alongside a 14" monitor.
Getting Linux and BSD stuff had to be via Walnut Creek CD-ROMs, as going to the university computer lab and splitting across multiple floppies didn't scale.
