People have mentioned having CDs and floppies, but no links so far, so...
Here's some information about running Slackware 1.01 in a virtual
machine, complete with floppy image links:

The earliest CD image I could find is for Slackware 3.2:

From the Red Hat/Fedora side, the earliest floppy image I could find
is from Red Hat Linux 4.2:

There's lots of partial content and the root of that URL for earlier
releases, but AFAICT RH didn't make floppy images publicly
downloadable before then; the directories where they would be seem to
be all empty.
The earliest CD images available are for 6.2:

I guess I'm a real youngster compared to everyone else, because I
didn't join the party till a little bit later, when a friend of my
dad's (I was really a youngster at the time!) handed me a copy of Red
Hat Linux 7 for Dummies complete with CDs in the back cover.
(Thankfully he had good choice in friends, had he instead handed me a
copy of the also recently released Windows 2000 things might have
ended up much differently. :-)
My poor old Gateway couldn't run Windows 98 without blue screening
every 5 minutes, but damn if it didn't run that thing flawlessly. (It
even made it to Fedora 2 before it finally gave the ghost!) The
included copy of Netscape Navigator 4 left much to be desired, but I
quickly discovered early milestones of this Mozilla Suite thing which
worked much better, despite all the scary warnings Netscape had
plastered all over Mozilla.org at the time.

Thank you TC.
I went ahead and downloaded the early slackware.
Cheers,
JD
