It's hard to believe, but it's been 20 years since this post. The first release (along with the first public mention of the name) followed 6 days later. I think I can safely say that a lot more people turned out to be interested in this than anticipated.
Congrats on the longevity anniversary... Slackware has always been a fantastic distribution and I'm sure it will continue that way. Thanks for all the work you continue to put into it!
Here, On n'a pas tous les jours 20 ans is sung in 1934, year of its creation, by Berthe Sylva. Lyrics by Charles-Ferdinand Pothier, music from Léon Raiter.

Excellent idea from several above to donate/get a subscription or just buy something from the Slackware store... let's all pitch in and support. Stop being slackers and start being Slackers.
I'm hoping to see a 20th anniversary shirt in the Slackware store.
Appreciate how much easier the last decade has been since I stopped having to mess with my computers and just use them. Thank you!
