Slackware way predates SLS
Slackware started out way before debian as a series of customizations
before coming a distrobution. Also!!!! if you had use google groups to
search bak 10 years on usenet you would see the arguments between patrick
and ian about slackware and packages and ian starting his own distrobution
project. Google Groups are your friend please dont let debian zealots from
#Debian on irc.freenode.net tell you other wise.
1. Both are based on SLS
2. Slackware was first
3. Debian was born due to conflicts in how Patrick runs his camp ( his way
or the highway)
4. Ian starts the debian project with a radically more open stance on
packages.
