Back to Slackware

[Stephen Chadfield]

I did my first Slackware install from floppy disk in 1994 and now I am
back after a long break. I hope this newsgroup is as helpful as ever ;-)

Welcome back, the group is active, but not as active
as it was in the mid 90s.

I am always hopeful of a Usenet revival :-)

Welcome back. My own first install of Slackware (upgrading from SLS)
was circa. the same timeframe, and also via the floppy shuffle. Been
running Slackware since.

I cannot claim to be so faithful :-) I was running Debian until I got
enticed by swaywm. As swaywm is under rapid development just now I
needed a less slow moving and buttoned down distro to play around with it.

Welcome back, In '94 I was installing all kinds of operating systems
including slackware, yes we where using floppy disk then, I still have
the disks. I came back to slackware when systemd slapped me in the face
and now I run 14.2, 15.0 and current on 10 different computers, just to
keep me busy. I also run my own kde plasma system, with systemd not
installed on it at all, I call it Alien Linux.
