Slackware creator in strife, claims store has not paid him

Original comment on LinuxQuestions.org: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/donati...

"second oldest Linux distribution"

Sorry to nitpick, but it's not, by any metric.

In an absolute sense, there were quite a few Linux distros around before Slackware. MCC Interim Linux, TAMU, and Yggdrasil all predate it, as does SLS (obviously, since Pat derived Slackware from SLS).

In the sense of "oldest surviving distribution", Slackware is not the "second oldest". It is the oldest.

Should not people like him get paid from UN for the contribution they make to the human kind?

I find this to be awful and I don't even use Slackware.
