Well, Slackware was definitely available in January 1994, and seemed like
it'd been around a bit...I remember installing it on my 486 (at great pain,
involving finding I had bad floppies in my stack of install floppies and
returning to the computer center in bitterly cold weather, uphill both ways,
and 100 feet of snow, etc.) to redownload the second utilities floppy.  :-P

Once I got it installed, I discovered that while there was a driver for my
video card, it kept the green gun on 100% at all times, and I eventually
gave up... until I got another PC.
