Founded'''Softlanding Linux System''' (SLS) founded by Peter McDonald in mid-1992, Softlanding Linux System (SLS) was one of the first [[Linux]] distributions in existance, and the first "massive" and "comprehensive" [[Linux distribution]] to contain not just the [[Linux Kernel]] and basic utilities, but some of the early [[GNU]]/[[Linux]] ports such as [[X]] and [[TCP/IP]].

SLS was probably the most popular [[Linux distribution]] at the time, but was also viewed by the community as being buggy and poorly maintained. Two of the more well known critics of SLS were [[Ian Murdock]] and [[Patrick Volkerding]]. Murdock's frustration with SLS lead him to create the [[Debian]] project, where as Volkerding decided to fix the problems with SLS and eventually renamed his work [[Slackware]].
