Slack 2 or 3 here I couldn’t get it to install because it didn’t have CD ROM drivers that worked with mine. Little did teenage me know I could have just copied the disk images to floppies but neither the sound or CD would have worked. I actually just installed it on a VM in Proxmox a couple weeks ago though. Now my windows 3.11 can telnet into my slack 2.3 box because why not.

Slackware was at least 3 years later and a huge leap forward. Even Red Hat 2.5 was a major leap because it was the first Linux distributable that was pre-compiled and feee to download.
