Kidding aside, thanks for the distro Pat. Hope you sip a Caol Ila or something nice today for the milestone.

Amen. Happy Birthday Slackware, and praise for our BDFL for the purity of his vision all these years,
through all the ups and downs and strange tides and currents that have passed through the open source world.
Always a sane and steady hand on the tiller, and Slackware is the best because of this.

I've been drifting more towards blends over the past few years, so maybe it'll be some Dewars 21. Cheers! :-)

Code:

Thirty Years!

Once upon a time in the early days of Linux, after months of tinkering with a customized distribution and putting it 
online for beta testing, I got the crazy idea to call it stable and to post the announcement linked below starting 
Slackware on the path to where it is today.
To everyone who has contributed in any way along the line, I offer my sincere thanks. 
So, where are we now? I'm still looking at a few blockers that need to be handled before I can call -current a 15.1 beta, 
but we'll get there fairly soon. 
Thanks for enabling me to keep doing the work I love - this site has really been instrumental. All the best to everyone. :-)

Pat

Trying to time this to the minute according to my interpretation of time zone differences.

Happy pearl anniversary, An epic milestone of which to be justifiably proud.

Happy Birthday Slackware!

After trying out dozens and dozens of distros over the years and using a quite a few distros as my main for months to years at a time. I always come back to Slackware cause it feels like home and doesn't fight me in how I want my system to be.

Happy 30th to PV, Slackware team and all of the contributors and users!!!

Here's to another 30 of the road less traveled by.

PS: Tipping a glass of fine Irish coffee.

Me too.

I’ve already posted a cheers (of coffee) elsewhere but here again won’t hurt. Happy Birthday to the greatest teacher I could ask for. Thank you for years of learning about computers and challenging myself to learn more. Slackware has always been the tool for the job, and while not the only one out there, its perfection cannot be matched.

Cheers!
