== History ==

SLS was the most popular Linux distribution at the time, and dominated the market until the developers made a decision to change the executable format which was not well received by the user base ([[a.out]] to [[Executable and Linkable Format|ELF]]). During this time, [[Patrick Volkerding]] decided to modify SLS by tweaking and cleaning it up. He called his finished work [[Slackware]]. With the unpopular direction SLS had taken, Slackware quickly replaced it and became the dominant distribution used by nearly everyone.{{factFact|date=August 2007}}

Similarly [[Ian Murdock]]'s frustration with SLS led him to create the [[Debian]] project.
