Slackware begets another new distro: Ultima 4
Sep. 19, 2005

Venerable Slackware already has inspired the Minislack, GoblinX, VectorLinux 5, and Zenwalk distros. Now there's another offspring: Ultima 4, which has been described as Slackware pre-configured into a more usable desktop, according to reviewer Andrew Fries, writing at DistroReviews.com.

"DO expect Slackware's stability, performance, and simplicity, as well as low hardware requirements. DO NOT expect cutting edge technologies and latest versions of packages -- Slackware, and therefore Ultima, stick to what works for them," Fries writes.
