Softlanding Linux System (SLS) was an early Linux distribution, founded by Peter MacDonald in mid-1992.

SLS was the first release to offer a comprehensive Linux distribution containing more than the Linux kernel and basic utilities, including TCP/IP and the X Window System.[1]

History

SLS was the most popular Linux distribution at the time, but it was considered to be rather buggy by its users. It was soon superceded by Slackware (which started as a cleanup of SLS by Patrick Volkerding) and Yggdrasil Linux, among others.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.[2]
