Slackware was my first distro. I distinctly remember running 0.99 kernels, so
it must have been part of the 1.0 release. (I also remember the transition from
a.out to ELF binaries)
At one point I remember stealing a Slackware CD-ROM out of the back of one of
the "Learn Linux" books at a local national-chain bookstore. Wikipedia says says
the first Slackware release on CD was in late 1995, but I know it was at least a
year or more before that. Maybe the Wikipedia entry is for an "official" CD-ROM.
:shrug:
My NAS machine runs "unRAID", which is Slackware based, so I guess I still run a
version of Slackware today. :) Along with Gentoo, a few Red-Hat based VMs, a
Kali VM, a NetBSD box, and some Debian-based systems on raspberry pis here at
home)
And then the thousands of RHEL-based systems I "own" at work, too. :)
...May you live all the days of your life.
