And why Patrick decided to leap from Slackware 3.x to 7.0 directly, since everyone said "hey, why are you four major versions behind RedHat?" :-)
In defence, Slackware 4 was most definitely a real release, 5 is uncertain and I believe that 6 was a buggy move to glibc2.0 that few people ever got a copy of, which was abandoned in favour of a move to glibc2.1 for version 7. They were versions, even if not general releases.
Of course, Slackware 96 is out there somewhere complicating things ;-)
