#Slackware is not my daily driver but it’s the handful of #FOSS projects that I’m sponsoring.
Its BDFL Patrick has developed Slackware for 30 years in a nearly one-man team. Had been through illnesses and jobless, while many fancy projects cease to exist after several years, he keeps delivering the oldest surviving and UNIX style distro so it must be very hardworking for him to do so.
Please support Slackware if you can, and happy birthday!
#Slackware founder, main developer and BDFL Patrick Volkderding’s official message on Patreon.
No corporate backing like Red Hat, SUSE; Not a big project like Debian or Linux Mint. Please consider supporting Slackware if you are able to do so.
I have an install cd somewhere with kernel 1.0.9 on it, ancient yes but it may be worth something given what an unboxed iPhone from 2006 or 7 just sold for.
