So far, the distribution across the 20s,30s,40s,50s categories all seem pretty equal. Interesting to note that no one younger than Slackware itself has admitted they're using it.

Tip: Slackware includes what you need to decode that.

I'm only just in category 7 but what the hell - been using Slack since version 0.9!
Nice to see how lively this forum is still - haven't visited Linuxquestions in ages (I look after lots of other Linux distros, FreeBSD, Solaris & its clones and Tru64 stuff even for a living) but came here today after running into a problem with installing Slack64 14.0 after I rebuilt my old 32-bit Slack 13.37 PC with 64-bit mobo, SAS controller, etc.
Cheers!

I'll hit 65 later this year. Slack keeps my brain young though.

36. Although I'm not an active full time user. I install it probably once a year, use it for a time, realize that I don't enjoy having no automated dependency resolution, and replace it with something else. Rinse and repeat every so often.

I'm 18 years old so I'm actually younger than Slackware.
