Slackware is the longest-running distribution of the Linux
operating system.
Slackware offers a stable and secure version
of Linux that is perfect for home, office, or educational use.
Slackware is easy for beginners to install, but contains all the
advanced features required by the experienced UNIX power-user.

“Changes: Glibc 2.1.2, Linux-2.2.13, Gnome, XFree86 3.3.5, and a
new “BigSlack” distribution. Read the ChangeLog
and homepage for
more information.”
