This is also a good resource:

The easiest way to explain the slit is to run an app in it. Install
gkrellm,
then from the commandline run: gkrellm -w &

If no app is running you can't see the slit, that's why people have
trouble understanding what it is. It's a place for running applets.
monitors, music players etc.

Fluxbox is great if you like working all day and never touching the
mouse. You can use the KEYS file and enter just about any command you
want.

See the wiki for instructions and HOWTOS on particular topics.
