SATA-IDE CD-ROM? SATA is from 2000 and onward, and Slackware 2.0 is from 1993. I had a Plextor SCSI CD writer (bought in ~1998), it worked very well on Linux.

Slackware was the distribution I used for quite some time, and which got me into the BSDs, as well as into Debian (I grew fond of the package management, but the release cycle was still slow).
Systemd isn't my cup of tea, but I have a feeling that people who never grew accustomed to its predecessors like it more. Baggage I guess.
- pjmlp 5y agoIDE CD-ROM then, it is not like I always check the dates before commenting and rather rely on fuzzy memories. Yes Slackware 2.0 with the first version of ELF support on the kernel, summer of 1995 that is when I got my Linux Unleashed book with it. SCSI always worked very well with Linux in terms of CD-ROM suppport.
