Wayde -

I agree that SLS is probably not really the first distribution, and that's 
why I quoted the word 'first'.  Like much of history, it's certainly up for 
discussion.  Since Slack was my first and only distribution (since 1995) 
until 4 months ago, I never used (or new about) SLS other than that Slack was 
based on it and most folks seemed to call it the 'first' Linux distribution.

This would certainly be a good time for some digital archeology!  Any Indiana 
Jones's lurking?
