I'm also pretty sure that SUSE is currently oldest active distro as well, it's based on Slackware.

- amdavidson 8y agoGenuinely don't see how an RPM based distro is based on slackware... What am i missing?
- boomskats 8y agoIt's still April 1st somewhere.
- diffeomorphism 8y ago> In 1994, with help from Patrick Volkerding, Slackware scripts were translated into German, which was marked as the first release of S.u.S.E. Linux 1.0 distribution. It was available first on floppies, and then on CDs. RPM was first released in 1997. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux
- vmlinuz 8y agoThis seems an odd comment to make, given that Slackware is still active :)
- ilovecaching 8y agoI actually meant to say they are the oldest lasting company around Linux, not distro.
