Tell it to Patrick Volkerding, who sweated to created the first Linux distribution
No, he didn't.
Can you be more specific? Are we possibly having some definitional issue about what constitutes a Linux distribution?
He started out releasing fixes/mods to SLS, which was a commercial distribution; the maker asked him to stop, so he started Slackware as a distinct distribution. Yggdrasil was also before Slackware IIRC, as were TAMU and MCC Interim. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
