Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 22 (Xinhua)-- Slackware, the oldest Linux distribution still being maintained, celebrated its 30th birthday this week, and its original publisher, Patrick Volkerding, is still maintaining it today.

▲ source Slackware official Patreon account Volkerding celebrated this historic node in a brief statement this week and thanked all those who contributed to the Slackware project.

CTOnews.com consulted public sources and learned that on July 16, 1993, Volkerding released Slackware 1.0. The name Slackware, which can be seen as a combination of slack and software, is meant to emphasize that it is a privately developed amateur project, and Volkerding hopes that people will not take the release too seriously.

However, thanks to the joint efforts of Volkerding and other developers, Slackware has become a serious distribution, but the name remains. The latest version of Slackware is V15, which was released last year.
