Questions tagged [slackware]

Slackware is a free and open source Linux distribution. It was one of the earliest operating systems to be built on top of the Linux kernel and is the oldest currently being maintained (it was created by Patrick Volkerding in 1993).

Slackware aims for design stability and simplicity, and to be the most "Unix-like" Linux distribution, making as few modifications as possible to software packages from upstream and using plain text files and a small set of shell scripts for configuration and administration.

he name "Slackware" stems from the fact that the distribution started as a private side project with no intended commitment. To prevent it from being taken too seriously at first, Volkerding gave it a humorous name, which stuck even after Slackware became a serious project.

Latest version: 14.2 (2016-07-01)
