SLS was the most popular Linux distribution at the time, but it was considered to be rather buggy by its users. It was soon superseded by [[Slackware]] (which started as a cleanup of SLS by [[Patrick Volkerding]]) and [[Yggdrasil Linux]], among others.

Similarly [[Ian Murdock]]'s frustration with SLS led him to create the [[Debian]] project.<ref>{{cite web | first = Ian A. | last = Murdock | title = NNTP Subject: New release under development; suggestions requested | url = http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development/msg/a32d4e2ef3bcdcc6 | date = 16 August 1993 | accessdate = 2007-08-17 }}</ref>
