Yes. It brings back memories! I started with Slackware. At that time
the other choice was SLS (Soft Landing System :-)

The second Slackware release of 2005, Slackware Linux 10.2 continues
the long Slackware tradition of simplicity, stability, and security.
Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll
find two of the most advanced desktop environments available today:
Xfce 4.2.2, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easy to
use desktop environment, and KDE 3.4.2, the latest version of the
award-winning K Desktop Environment.
Slackware uses the 2.4.31 kernel bringing you advanced performance
features such as the ReiserFS journaling filesystem, SCSI and ATA
RAID volume support, SATA support, and kernel support for X DRI (the
Direct Rendering Interface) that brings high-speed hardware
accelerated 3D graphics to Linux. Additional kernels allow installing
Slackware using any of the journaling filesystems available for
Linux, including ext3, ReiserFS, IBM's JFS, and SGI's XFS. For those
Slackware users who are anxious to try the new 2.6.x kernel series,
it is fully supported by the system. A precompiled Linux 2.6.13
kernel, modules, and source code are provided (along with complete
instructions on how to install the new kernel). A bootable 2.6.13
kernel ("test26.s") with support for most SCSI, RAID, and SATA
controllers is integrated into the installer.
From the beginning, Slackware has offered a stable and secure Linux
distribution for UNIX veterans as well as an easy-to-use system for
beginners. Slackware includes everything you'll need to run a
powerful server or workstation. Each Slackware package follows the
setup and installation instructions from its author(s) as closely as
possible, offering you the most stable and easily expandable
setup. .....
