Slackware was created on 1993-07-16.
Slackware can be downloaded free of charge from the project's website.
Slackware is the _most_ stable version of Linux. It is also (perhaps) the fastest version of Linux, and because Slackware relies _heavily_ on the usage of the Command Line, Slackware basically forces you to actually _learn_ how to (properly) use Linux. However, if you feel you may be dependent on GUI's (graphic user interfaces) such as how things are done in Windows, Mac & Android, then Slackware is definitely not for you. In short, if you really wish to learn Linux and/or you need rock solid stability - for use as a server, for example - then Slackware is the best choice.
Slackware Linux has a number of advanced features. Some of them are GCC 4.1.2, XII 7.2.0, HAL, Linux 2.6.21.5, Xfce 4.4.1, The K Desktop Environment and Apache 2.2.4.
Slackware is one of the original Linux distributions. Unlike many newer distros, such as Ubuntu or Fedora, it does not have a simple program to fetch and install software. Software must be installed manually. This makes customization easier, but complicates updating and maintenance. Slackware is a good way to learn about how Linux works, but it isn't ideal for most new users of Linux.
The Linux kernel which forms the base of Linux started to be developed in 1991 It wasn't until late 1993 when Slackware first appeared that it was in any kind of usable form though - unless you were an uber geek that is. Red Hat Linux 1 appeared in mid 1994 and Debian 1 was released a year later The first Ubuntu (a clone of Debian) didn't get released till 2004
Slackware Linux is an advanced Linux operating system designed for easy and simple use as well as great stabilities. The idea is to make a Unix-like Linux distribution and provides many development tools and features for those who like to web browse and those who want additional programs.
boot from a cd (slackware has live boot added by defult on cd2 .. there are fdisk and cfdisk on it)
There are too many to list, as the it would take many pages to just list the titles the most common distributions are: Centos Redhat Enterprise Debian Ubuntu Slackware Gentoo
GNU/Linux? Plenty. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Fedora, and many more. Non-GNU Linux? Android.
Some of the top-rated Linux Servers, as complied by an IT Business source list in 2010, include, but are not limited to, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, and Slackware.
I Am Legend was first released in Europe.
