In answer to my own question, LJ has a -- hopefully correct (I say this
because one of the pertinent pieces of info is in the "comments"
section) -- semi-timeline:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6000
Summary:
August '91: the infamous Linus first-post
September '91: Linux kernel 0.01 released
October '92: SLS announced.
November '92: Yggdrasil CD-ROM*
June '93: Slackware hits the scene
*After a quick search, I'm unable to find evidence of this [it's the bit
that was in the comments section]. I -did- find a July '92 Usenet
posting where one Adam J. Richter proposed a Yggdrasil BSD distribution
