@foone You’d think that if you’re in the credits, that they’d just give you a copy

As it’s that time of year:

@foone I used Slackware 7 to make a home internet router once I got a DSL connection. Back then with LILO, the instructions were pretty good, and using FTP or HTTP it was fine.

Jump to today, the ELILO (uefi version) or GRUB is a pain, and if you don’t have X windows installed and need to use a command line program, so many sites use Let’s Encrypt certs which isn’t supported by Slackware yet (at least at v15, can’t say about current). Figuring how to install certs was a joy (not)

@foone Installing Slackware is easy! Now getting updates from a https server, or updating the kernel might be a bit of a challenge
