AI summary: Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Slackware Linux, the oldest active Linux distribution, continues to evolve with its latest version, Slackware 15. Despite maintaining a 1990s aesthetic with text-mode installation and lack of a graphical desktop manager, Slackware 15 offers modern features like online repositories and automatic dependency resolution. The distribution, which began as an improvement project on the Softlanding Linux system, now includes three variants catering to different hardware requirements. The ease of installation and use makes Slackware today a more accessible option than younger distributions like Alpine Linux or Arch Linux.
