Thank you Patrick Volkerding. Slackware was my first real distro. Almost exactly 20 years ago, I was a kid who spent a week downloading a slackware iso. I sat and read through everything in the slackware installation and that taught me so much! Your philosophy of simplicity and purity in software and systems design has left a deep imprint on me. Thank you so much.
Me too :)
I was one of the young student in 1995 downloading Linux in plenty of 1.44M floppy disks (7 for GCC, I remember).
Nice to Know Slackware is still here with us in 2022!
