    Slackware around 96. I downloaded it from a local BBS over a 28.8 modem. It took forever. I don’t recall how many floppies it took, but it was a good stack. I got it installed, then realized it was in Portuguese. I did not know Portuguese at the time. So I got a crash course in Linux and Portuguese at the same time learning how to reconfigure the language settings. It was a fun time.








  • I’ve been using it on my gaming rig/dev workstation for nearly a year and its been great. Games work great. I had some issues with printer drivers, and with some dev tools. I hadn’t used a fedora-based system in years so many of my issues likely stemmed from that. Editors seem to be confused by the home symlink, especially IntelliJ et al.

    Overall I’d highly recommend it. Someone mentioned slow boot, but that hasn’t been my experience. It boots within a few seconds.
