'''==Is it McDonald, or MacDonald?''' ==

A number of Linux "history" books have him as Peter McDonald, as do a number of web pages dealing with the early history of Linux. Anyone know for sure which spelling is correct? [[User:Moorcito|Moorcito]]

-Tobin M

I can second that it is 'Peter MacDonald', I have worked with him for a few years.

'''ELF migration incorrect'''

'''==ELF migration incorrect'''==

I used SLS back in the day, and I'm rather certain that it never even attempted to migrate from a.out to ELF. It lost its user base because it was buggy (installer, toolchain, etc) and did not live up to its advertising (IIRC Windows compatibility as touted as a feature). I have therefore removed that particular point from the article. Of course, if my memory is playing tricks on me and SLS did actually go to ELF, feel free to revert my edit -- but please cite reference. -- Chris <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/206.230.48.50|206.230.48.50]] ([[User talk:206.230.48.50|talk]]) 06:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== missing link ==

I just commented out a link which does not exist anymore. I dug a little and found out the original German version of the document, at http://linuxkp.de/files/de/linuxology/rbhistory2.pdf - but I do non know if you allow references not in English, so I won't add it myself. --[[:it:Utente:.mau.|.mau.]] <fontspan sizestyle=" +1font-size:large;">[[:it:Discussioni utente:.mau.| &#x2709;]]</fontspan> 18:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC) <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:.mau.|.mau.]] ([[User talk:.mau.|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/.mau.|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Negative bias? ==

To me it seems that the article is negatively biased, mentioning users considering it buggy and the "frustration" that led to Debian's creation. IMHO the overall historical importance of SLS should not be downplayed because it was superseded by the evolutionary creation of new distros.
