You're right, although depending on how you measure "age" Debian is either only a couple of months or a couple of years "younger." I had researched this question some time back when I was going to be giving a presentation on Linux. I could have sworn what I found then revealed Slackware came along after Debian. Looking again now, that just isn't the case. I must be getting old. Argh. -snip- > What is 'commercial' ? Trading a product in exchange for money with the intent to make a profit?
