Slackware was my first encounter with Linux back in early 1995 (I was a field engineer at the time looking after BT supplied SCO Unix and Xenix boxes in doctors surgeries in the highlands of Scotland).
It was very exciting times. I learned to build my own kernels which took hours on the crappy old dell I owned at the time, but very satisfying. It was even more exciting when I managed to get a Novell NE2000 clone to work with it as well and set up my first web and FTP server in my bedroom and then got it to talk to my Hayes compatible modem and Demon Internet.
Happy hacky days :)
I use CentOS these days, mainly because it's our company standard, I must go back and give it another spin. Congrats Slackware!
