Slackware,
started by Patrick Volkerding in late 1992, and initially released to
the world on July 17, 1993, was the first Linux distribution to achieve
widespread use. Volkerding first learned of Linux when he needed an
inexpensive LISP interpreter for a project. One of the few distributions
available at the time was SLS Linux from Soft Landing Systems.
Volkerding used SLS Linux, fixing bugs as he found them. Eventually, he
decided to merge all of these bugfixes into his own private distribution
that he and his friends could use. This private distribution quickly
gained popularity, so Volkerding decided to name it Slackware and make
it publicly available. Along the way, Patrick added new things to
Slackware; a user friendly installation program based on a menuing
system, as well as the concept of package management, which allows users
to easily add, remove, or upgrade software packages on their systems.Slackware 12.0
