🎂 Happy Birthday, Slackware!

On this day in 1993, Patrick Volkerding released Slackware 1.0, the oldest Linux distro still maintained!
Still simple, still solid, still Slackware.

Small but mighty news for UNIX fans:
GNU ed 1.22 is out! Now you can filter specific line ranges through shell commands directly in ed, ex(1)-style:

1,10!sort

Just like in ex or sed, this filters addressed lines through your favorite shell tools a great upgrade for scripting and editing workflows.

Even better: Today’s batch of Slackware -current updates already includes ed 1.22. If you’re running -current and up to date, you already have the new version!
