Help with Linux info please.

I admit, apart from Slackware I also run Ubuntu - on my laptop. It was just so damn easy to get it on there.

Actually it was Yggdrasil. First Yggdrasil distro was 1992, first Slackware was 1993.

<proud Slackware user to this day> :D

(edit) Actually I am wrong. I just checked my dates, SLS came out in Sep 92, Yggdrasil in Dec 92. In early 1993, SLS split into Debian and Slackware. And the rest is history...

And if you're really interested, I put my copy of SLS up for adoption by kind Virtual Machine users in the Bochs section of Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=146898&group_id=12580

(I was a Johnny-come-lately in Linux terms - 1993? You call that early?!? -, or at least, that's how I see it. But on the other hand, I've put my copy up for others' enjoyment, so at least in that respect I'm not so much a Johnny-come-lately after all.

Let's try to keep off topic one liners to a minimum ...
