Slackware 2.2 was my first encounter with Linux in 1995. I was already fairly comfortable with Unix having to support a bunch of SCO Unix systems for our customer base.
I gave up a weekend of beer to get it up and running on some random motherboard and pilfering some known good compatible bits from our spares store such as an actual NE2000 NIC :) Within a few days I was doing kernel rebuilds to get a sound card working properly or some such thing. That was a lot of fun.
Due to a career change I ended up running RedHat (then CentOS) mostly, but dipped back into Slackware now and again. It's nice to see what was one of the OG distros still getting releases.
