"The last time I looked at Slackware was nearly seven years ago;
version 7.1 was thrown my way by a magazine and I was asked for a

"Slackware 12, the latest version of what is the oldest existing
commercial distribution, came out recently and for some reason or

software isn't all that painful a task..."
