Hi to all on this forum.
I`ve been following posts on this forum since Sep 2013, but never introduced myself.
I`m from Sao Paulo (Indaiatuba) Brazil.
Currently, with Slackware 14.1 on a laptop, started with a Slackware 3.4 (kernel 2.0.30) distro, running on a 486DX 100Mhz. That`s it.

greetings.

Welcome. Thanks for coming out from the shadows.

Thanks.

I've been played with several linux distros, but slackware came first and has the main place.

cheers.

I am fairly new to Linux and have never heard of Slackware. I will look into it right away.

Welcome to the site!

Hi chuckmx.

Another Slackware user here.

Slackware64-current on my main desktop computer and on my media center.

Bem-vindo / bienvenido / welcome.

Wow!!!!! A 486!!!! Have not seen one of those in ages. I am curious, is it your mainpc or something you revived? What s your experience on it? How much ram does it have?

I remeber my 486. 500mb hdd, 17 inch monitor, 8mb ram!

It was the PC that he had when that version of Slackware came out, which was in the late 1990s. Not the one that he's using today.

Gota read more carefully! Do i feel like a dumbass now!

Thanks for the kind correction

Nice to meet another Slacker! Welcome to LQ, marx.

Hi,
Nop...today have an i7 laptop with slackware 14.1_x86_64 besides a Core2duo, with Ubuntu. That Intel 486@100Mhz was, circa 1998, main computer running BBS system, with 16 Mb EDO ram, and 2 HDD with 2Gb each. were good times, but BBS went down in a few months.

Welcome aboard.

I got my start with an even earlier version of Slackware that was running one of the 1.x.y kernels that came with a book. I found it to be too primitive for the hardware I was using, TI-575CD laptop that had a 100 MHz Pentium classic, so I upgraded to Slackware 3.4. I ended up patching my kernel from 2.0.30 to 2.0.33. I had 4 different OS'es on that machine so the hard drive was kind of crowded. Grant Guenther came out with his ep.c driver for Syquest drives around that time so I split my Slackware install between the hard drive and the Syquest drive. I still have that Syquest cartridge hanging around here somewhere with an ext2 filesystem on it. The only things I ever did with my Slackware install in those days was talk to someone on AOL with AOL's java AIM client, play Dos games under DOSEMU, and learn about a Linux system.

How are you doing forum members? My name is gojo. I am student in USA. I am new to Linux. I want to know more on commands, editing and shell programming. I really want to learn these forum member to become a true Linux command-line guru. please, I am open to any help and suggestion. Thank you for your assistance.
