Small but mighty news for UNIX fans:
GNU ed 1.22 is out! Now you can filter specific line ranges through shell commands directly in ed, ex(1)-style:

1,10!sort
Just like in ex or sed, this filters addressed lines through your favorite shell tools a great upgrade for scripting and editing workflows.

Even better: Today’s batch of Slackware -current updates already includes ed 1.22. If you’re running -current and up to date, you already have the new version!

On this day in 1993, Patrick Volkerding released Slackware 1.0, the oldest Linux distro still maintained!
Still simple, still solid, still Slackware.

@r1w1s1 Oh, my journey in the *nix world started with one of the #Slackware derivatives, developed by Russian community dragnhappy

It was #MOPSLinux 3.1 and it was based on the Slackware 10.1 with some additionals, like support of Russian language and custom installer.

Dreaming of getting my hands on a Lenovo ThinkPad X201 tablet someday! Imagine the possibilities with a clean install of Slackware. That legendary keyboard and robust build would be perfect for a lightweight and customizable Linux experience. Anyone in Brazil 🇧🇷 know where to find these gems? Let's make it happen! 🤩
