First distro I ever used. Downloaded it from a BBS onto about 40 floppies. Fun times.
I was just going to post the same thing. I actually split downloading duties with a friend of mine when we both had 1 (or maybe 2?) hr / day on our ISPs.
We even used coloured floppies to colour code the package sets.
Cool to see.
I am curious though, does Slackware do anything that other Distros can’t?
Is there a reason to choose it over say Debian or Fedora aside from it being around for so long and the nostalgia factor
More stable than Debian.
Useful for controlling your homemade nuclear reactor’s cooling system.
