Slackware creator in strife, claims store has not paid him
- Crontab 8y agoI find this to be awful and I don't even use Slackware.
- misterkola 8y agoShould not people like him get paid from UN for the contribution they make to the human kind?

"second oldest Linux distribution" Sorry to nitpick, but it's not, by any metric. In an absolute sense, there were quite a few Linux distros around before Slackware. MCC Interim Linux, TAMU, and Yggdrasil all predate it, as does SLS (obviously, since Pat derived Slackware from SLS). In the sense of "oldest surviving distribution", Slackware is not the "second oldest". It is the oldest.
- burntrelish1273 8y agoYup. One of the oldest, popular, surviving distributions. There's a transfinite number of distributions.
- burntrelish1273 8y agoIn the mid-1990's, wasn't Walnut Creek CDROM originally a Valley-local home-based business of a husband and wife duo? I remember getting the Slackware distro on ~9 green silkscreened CD's from Central Computer in Santa Clara around the front area where the tree-genocidal non-Felix Dennis tome of Computer Shopper was piled higher and deeper. PS: It's interesting iXsystems (FreeNAS sponsors, FreeBSD sponsors, BSD hardware VAR) ended up with WU CDROM.
