I booted one of the original Slackware ARM development machines this week.
It’s a StrongARM RiscPC, running a Slackware ARM system that was last booted in April 2008. There was a kernel mismatch between the public builds and the original development kernel, so it took some careful archaeology to get it running; but it did boot, and I was able to log in and explore.
