The details are sparse, but the Slackware Linux Web site
proclaims that Slackware Linux, Inc. will be spun off as a separate
company from Walnut Creek CD-ROM in the near future, adding to the
list of Linux distributions going public. More details as we get
them….

Only a brief note on the slackware home page (10 March
2000):
“We will be spinning merrily off to form a separate
company–
Slackware Linux, Inc.
Interesting times are
ahead, friends…”
