    Slackware, the second GNU/Linux distribution to be released to the public, is turning 30, with its founder Patrick Volkerding saying he was likely to release a beta of version 15.1 soon.

    [11:30] schestowitz

    In a short note posted on Patreon last week, Volkerding said: "Once upon a time in the early days of Linux, after months of tinkering with a customised distribution and putting it online for beta testing, I got the crazy idea to call it stable and to post the announcement linked below starting Slackware on the path to where it is today."
