If you are posting in this forum, maybe you can take the time to send a quick "thank you" email to Patrick Volkerding, for all his hard work during the past 10 years...
Or, even better, you could go to the the Slackware shop and buy something there to support the progress of Slackware!!
In any case, thanks, Patrick, for a great, great, great distro!

Yeah, happy birthday Slackware...and also on distrowatch.com, they mention that you can download the very first version, 1.0 for a 386! Now aint that something?
Happy tenth, Slackware! Just think, eight more years and Slack'll be old enough to vote!
And I agree with LinFreak; the OS grows on you real fast. I love this distro. When you're done configuring or installing something in Slackware, you really feel you've accomplished something.
Patrick - you compiled a great distro and even though, as a newbie, I have yet to realise its full potential, I gotta tell you - it knocks the stuffing out of those other distros, and considering they all run off the Linux kernel, that's saying something.
Many thanks Patrick and team: happy birthday Slackware, and may all of its maintainers and users "get slack" (in the Dobbsian sense!! )
