Slackware!!! Dang, I had forgotten that name. That was the first distro I installed as well. Xeyes and stuff. Oh, dear...

The guy got sick with a mystery illness didn't he? This was about 20 years ago. He blogged about the saga of having doctors try to figure out what was wrong with him, and I think was self-administering various treatments. Must look up how he's doing.
He seems to have made a significantly good recovery.
After installing it from 24 floppy disks, and getting it wrong the first few times I can't forget Slackware. I was scarred for life.
