Slackware is a GNU/Linux distribution which is known for being stable, fast and suitable for older computers. Slackware is the oldest Linux distribution that is still supported.
Slackware tries to be simple and the most "Unix-like" distribution. It does not offer any graphical tools for configuring the system, instead the person usually has to change it on their own using the command line interface and by editing text files.
