Nice to see Slackware still going strong. Like many around these parts, Slackware was my second Linux distribution, after I decided that Red Hat 5.2 was too mainstream for me. One of my favourite things about Slackware was the installer that showed a couple of paragraphs of trivia about what packages were getting installed. I learned so much about the people that made these amazing things possible. (Larry Wall! John Ousterhout! Roland McGrath! Ulrich Drepper!)
