What is Slackware Linux?

The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities. Slackware 9.0 builds on the rock-solid 8.1 foundation with updated packages, improved hardware support, and KDE 3.1.

Providing new and experienced users alike with a fully-featured system equipped for anything from desktop workstation to machine-room server. Web, FTP, and email servers ready out of the box. A full range of development tools, editors, and current libraries included.

The Slackware Philosophy

Since its first release in April 1993, the Slackware Linux Project has aimed at producing the most "UNIX-like" Linux distribution. Simplicity and stability are paramount — making Slackware one of the most popular, stable, and friendly distributions available.
