The distro my Linux journey started with. A stack of 3.5” disks we got from our Prolog teacher, patience and sense of adventure. Installing it on a 100mb hard drive, I think it was, partitioned, so DOS was available too, LILO as bolt loader.

I’m getting nostalgic here…

Slackware is still awesome. I'm typing this from my Slackware 15 machine. Rock solid distro.
