I, too, started with Slackware in 1994. I had just moved back from
France to the US. In France, I had been working with Sparc stations
at INRIA, and I wanted to stick with Unix. I had something like v 0.9
of slackware, which I installed with no assistance on a Zeos desktop.
Years later, I migrated to RedHat on advice from various people at W3C.
Later, I migrated to Debian on advice from those same people.
Leave me alone. :)
