      @allison or 6 CD-ROMs currently for i486. That's how I started lunix btw - by buying a lunix mag with Slackware discs included. Only had dial-up back then w

      @roka I've always appreciated the "yeah, we're actually going to ship enough software on the DVD that it's completely viable offline" approach Slackware seems to take when it comes to bundling software

      @allison shipping - no. The worldwide distributor turned out to be scamming Patrick for a long time. It still is distributed online as ISOs though.

      @roka Oh yeah I forgot they're still technically shipping CDs as well. I remember Debian doing something similar in the past? But it was more annoying comparatively speaking

      @allison it makes sense if you consider the minimum CPU arch target of Slackware. Same thing that NetBSD does.

      @roka Well "shipping" as in you can still get the CDs at all. Most distros dropped CD support around the turn of the 10s
