Trans-Ameritech Systems announcing the Linux Supplement CD-ROM.

Linux is a rapidly evolving operating system. Important improvements are made 
almost on a daily basis. New applications are written and ported to Linux all
the time. This means that there is plenty of material for a new CD-ROM. However
neither the filesystem layout, nor the versions of main packages changed in any
major way since the Release 3 of the Trans-Ameritech Linux plus BSD CD-ROM.
Due to all this we decided to announce the Linux Supplement CD-ROM.
The main distribution source is still Slackware, but in addition to upgrading
the Slackware version to 1.2.2 we provide alternative distributions.
You can install Linux from the Supplement with the same ease as from the
regular release, but instead of duplicating the "live" filesystem we provide
additional software. If you have a regular release to be mounted after the
installation to save disk space and this Supplement with updates and additional
software, you have the best of both worlds: the most stable Linux and the
cutting edge latest software.
Also we incude the security patch to close a major security hole in most
Linux installations.

Below is the partial list of features of the Linux Supplement CD.

			Main features.

Linux Slackware 1.2.2 Distribution
