>Now based on the Slackware 1.2 and with the Linux kernel 1.0. XFree86 2.1
>This release combines the best features of all existing CD-ROM releases
>of the Linux operating system:
>* The installation is highly automated by the Slackware scripts fine tuned

>first time Linux users install the system in no time.
>* In addition to standard device drivers in Linux kernel, BIOS-less aha1522
>SCSI is supported (it covers Sound Blaster 16 SCSI too).
>* To minimize the possibility of hardware conflicts many extra kernels are
>provided for different configurations. They are usable for installation and
>normal use.
>* For the FIRST time it is possible to try Linux without repartitioning
>your hard drive - just use at least 12 Meg on your DOS partition for Linux.
>The "live" CD-ROM filesystem helps you run almost any software in this mode.
>* Many on-line documents are provided for quick reference, including the
>Linux Documentation Project files in source, dvi and ps formats.
>* A lot of applications are included:
> - The C/C++ compiler GNU GCC 2.5.8,
> - GNU and international versions of the "ispell" spell-checker.
> - The communications apps: term 1.1.4, minicom, Seyon (X-Windows based).
> - Editors: elvis (vi clone), joe, jove,
> - PostScript clone "ghostscript" 2.6.1,
> - Spreadsheet "sc"

> dip, deliver, elm, pine, smail, cnews, nn, tin, trn
> - Object oriented GNU Smalltalk 1.1.1, and the Smalltalk Interface to X.
> (STIX)
> - Powerful scripting language with Motif-like X interface tcl7.3, tk3.6, wish
> - SPICE for electric engineering
> - Several window managers - openwin, twm, gwm, fvwm.

> xv 3.00, GNU chess and xboard, xfm 1.2, ghostview, X games
> - Interviews libraries, include files, and the "doc" word processor and
> "idraw" drawing program.
