http://www.slackware.com/ - claims to be the original [Linux] distribution.

Tcl related packages are available in the http://slackbuilds.org repository.

[Scott Beasley] Well, not the original, but the oldest still in use.  I count Yggdrasil
as the first "real" Linux distribution.  BTW, I am a Slack user.

[tb] Slackware was based on SLS (Soft Landing System), a Linux distribution that came on 26 floppy disks :)

[Scott Beasley]  SLS was never much more than a play toy, but Slack fixed it right up! :)  The Bad ole days of Linux ;)

[tb] '''Hail Patrick!'''  :)

[RLE] (2012-01-06): According to the Wikipedia page on SLS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softlanding_Linux_System] it was:

   * "SLS was the first release to offer a comprehensive Linux distribution containing more than the Linux kernel and basic utilities, including TCP/IP and the X Window System."

My first several Linux installs were via SLS and the 26 floppy shuffle...  Then Slackware arrived and that was it for SLS.
