OFFICIAL SLACKWARE LINUX WEBSITE LAUNCHED

January 15, 1999 - Slackware Linux gains official representation on the World
Wide Web as www.slackware.com goes online.  The site serves as a centralized
resource for Slackware users, providing the latest development news alongside
sections for help with installation and configuration.  www.slackware.com also
gives an introduction to Slackware for those who have not tried it, with an
overview of Slackware and ZipSlack, links to other Linux information sources,
and download locations for the distribution.

Slackware Linux is one of the oldest and most stable distributions of the 
Linux operating system, which is released under the GNU Public License and is
therefore free for anyone to use and modify. Slackware's creator and 
maintainer, Patrick Volkerding, has always followed the philosophy that 
simplicity and stability make an operating system great. Now at version 3.6, 
Slackware still reflects that philosophy.  A special version of Slackware, 
known as ZipSlack, is designed to be installed on a DOS or Windows(tm) system 
with about 100MB of free space.  ZipSlack is an excellent avenue of 
exploration for those who are not quite ready to switch operating systems, 
but who are interested in the Linux OS.

Slackware Linux can be found on the web at http://www.slackware.com
