How funny, I got my first version of Slack in 2000 too (I think it was Zipslack from a CD in the back of the book "Uberhacker"). That opened up a whole new world for me.

Awesome and signed by "The Man" himself!
I remember spending weeks getting Slackware setup on a old cobbled together computer in the mid 90s, no cd-rom because it was a Mitsumi 2x and in the end required custom driver coding to work.
1000s of printed man pages I printed on the uni printer and stacks of 3.5" 'floppies'.
That experience really taught me how to use Linux. It's also how I got my my moniker from my friends, always doctoring around in Slackware ;) Blast from the Past indeed!

I was introduced to Slackware (7.1) in 2000 from an old workmate who burned it to a CDROM for me. When 13.37 was released I decided to buy the disc from the store to have as a keepsake.
