The oldest surviving Linux distribution, known for stability and staying close to upstream.
About
Slackware, first released in 1993, is the oldest Linux distribution still maintained. It follows a KISS philosophy: no dependency resolution, plain init scripts and a highly Unix-like system that changes deliberately slowly.
