#2Now there’s a name I hadn’t heard in 20 years. I thought I had something to do with Winamp at first read.

#3Slackware 3.0 was my first distro, in probably 1995.
I'm very curious what modern Slackware is like in practice, given their philosophy and guidance listed in http://www.slackware.com/info/

It was 3.6 for me, I still miss it.
To be honest, I have been completely overwhelmed by the modern web, ads and cookie warnings are just giving me anxiety, and I mean real physical anxiety. I will go back to my roots, my tty only experience is getting better and better[1]. When I patched the kernel to make the cursor non blinking block, I got such joy, I felt I was a kid again.
Great news that slack is still around! It gives me hope.

#5wow that website brings me back.
it's horribly out of date but I can see why they kept it. its readable with good information density, and many times faster than js-laden project websites that use frameworks designed for SPAs to display a changelog

Don't remember the version, but it was mine as well, around 1998. I still remember setting up all the feature-specific floppies.

#7What timing!! I am so tired of ubuntu derivatives... Call me crazy, but too many things are getting in the way of me just using Linux. I went back to Gentoo on most of my boxes, but was actually feeling like Slack not two weeks ago, only to see it still on 14. A bit dated. Now I can check it out again! Get slack!

Slack was also my first. Amazed to see Pat still at it given all the time that's passed. I'm curious to know how many out there still use slack? I can't say I have in a solid 15-20 years.

#9I love that the website is the same design as when I first discovered Slackware in 1999 https://web.archive.org/web/19991117022152/http://slackware....
