Video: 1995 Slackware Installation


Did anyone else see this on Slashot? It's a 1995 video on installing Slackware.

It's pretty cool how little has changed once he finally booted into Slackware. Neat Video.

Very nice find dugan from the relative infancy of this fine distro. How nostalgic to think at the time this was made I had no clue what linux was and thought dos & w95 were the bees knees of advanced technology!

I saw the video on slashdot. Props to Patrick Volkerding for staying true to his idea/vision for a distribution all these years. It's STILL the best distribution there is, hands down. It all looks and feel the same as it did back then -- clean, consistent, and elegant. Bravo!
