[Cialug] Slackware

[David Champion]

I haven't actively used Slackware since probably mid 1995. It was kind 
of a pain to install back then. I can get you a copy of my old CD if 
you'd like to try it. I still have the CD, saving it just in case we 
ever want to install it just for fun. Sadly, I no longer have the 386 PC 
I used to run it on. :)

Administration was pretty much all hands-on, download source & compile 
yourself. It makes gentoo look like child's play.
