  1. Slackware? I'm still using SLS! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I didn't hear about this newbie distro "Slackware" since I'm using SLS and I'm happy with my kernel v0.97.1 (a.out)
    I guess I'll look into upgrading.
    I still need to have a "boot" floppy and a "root" floppy for my system to IPL, right?
