Linux Foundation and 20 Years of Linux - Slackware Mention
 

The Linux Foundation's timeline on the 20 years of Linux includes Slackware!

Yeah. Good. It's about time Slackware got some credit and recognition, instead of all the usual dismissive/negative reviews.

Wow!

Nice find rmjohnso.

I hope that Pat be able to hold Slackware's helm at least for the twenty years to come - then B. C. V. will be able to take over.

Of course I am assuming that BDFL is a hereditary.

Praise "Bob"!
There's a short 20th birthday video, too. But it's no good 'cause it doesn't mention Slack. :tisk:

WoW! No Debian in there :)

Here is the full page if anyone is interested / can't find it.

Or you can follow the link from the slackware.com homepage now. :)

Congratulations, Mr. Volkerding! :D

And in the beginning was Slackware!

@rmjohnso good find!
Too right - although to be honest I think Slackware does get quite a lot of credit and recognition - especially with proper "Linux-heads".
To anyone interested in the history of the linux distros this timeline gives a good idea - it's what made me first decide on Slackware as my introduction to Linux quite a long time ago - thankfully the right choice for once.

I could not find myself on the timeline!
Does it mean that I'm not famous? :rolleyes:

Who are you?

Thanks for that link, rmjohnso :) Very cool to see our distro at the beginning of it all!

so how come the timeline link links to this:
