If we're going to go into ancient history — Slackware was (simplifying) a
fork of SLS, but SLS wasn't the first either. Either ABC or H. J. Lu's
nameless microdistribution might be considered to be the mother of linux
distributions, IMO ABC is closest to that epithet. The first to use the
source+patches approach was called Bogus Linux.
