13 years old. Slackware 10.0, on 2 CDs given away with the September, 2004, issue of Linux Format magazine.

I'm looking at a 2 disk set, dated March 1995, of,

"linux. ready-to-run. SLACKWARE.
The Internet's favorite 32-bit multiuser operating system for Intel 386+. Includes Kernel 1.2."

I don't see a version number anywhere on the case or the CDs.

That will be 2.2, according to Wikipedia's Slackware page
