@sullybiker i am just absolutely in love with the fact that you categorize slackware as a “mid-2000s” thing, never change. ;d i associate it with like, 1993 and floppy disks. wikipedia says, and i think this is true, that the “slack” is regarding the maintainer’s effort toward the distro. he still does just random releases to this day, has no bug tracker or central source repo.
