+QGIS Server is a WMS server for your QGS project.  It requires fcgi.  It is
+optionally built at the same time as QGIS; you need to specify SERVER=yes
+to the SlackBuild, for example
+
+  SERVER=yes sh qgis.SlackBuild
+
+By default, the server is installed into /var/www/cgi-bin/qgis, and so the
+WMS URL is 'http://<hostname>/cgi-bin/qgis/qgis_mapserv.fcgi'.  However, a
+different directory can be specified by passing CGIBINDIR=<path> to the
+SlackBuild script.
+
+After installing QGIS (and the server), you will need to set up the server.
+To serve a single QGIS project, this can be done as follows:
+
+* In the qgis 'Project Properties' window, on the 'General' tab, ensure
+that 'Save paths' is set to 'absolute', and on the 'WMS Server' tab, fill
+in all relevant details (particularly including 'Coordinate Systems 
+Restrictions').
+
+* Create a symlink to your QGIS project file from /var/www/cgi-bin/qgis/,
+e.g.,
+
+  ln -s /home/user/maps/mymap.qgs /var/www/cgi-bin/qgis/
