When was Slackware created?
Slackware was created on 1993-07-16.
What the advantage of slackware?
Slackware is the _most_ stable version of Linux. It is also (perhaps) the fastest version of Linux, and because Slackware relies _heavily_ on the usage of the Command Line, Slackware basically forces you to actually _learn_ how to (properly) use Linux. However, if you feel you may be dependent on GUI's (graphic user interfaces) such as how things are done in Windows, Mac & Android, then Slackware is definitely not for you. In short, if you really wish to learn Linux and/or you need rock solid stability - for use as a server, for example - then Slackware is the best choice.
What are the features of Slackware Linux?
Slackware Linux has a number of advanced features. Some of them are GCC 4.1.2, XII 7.2.0, HAL, Linux 2.6.21.5, Xfce 4.4.1, The K Desktop Environment and Apache 2.2.4.
What is Slackware?
Slackware is one of the original Linux distributions. Unlike many newer distros, such as Ubuntu or Fedora, it does not have a simple program to fetch and install software. Software must be installed manually. This makes customization easier, but complicates updating and maintenance. Slackware is a good way to learn about how Linux works, but it isn't ideal for most new users of Linux.
When was Slackware first released?
1993, making it the oldest still-active Linux distribution in existence. (Debian didn't actually come out officially until 1994, and actually didn't even begin development by the time Slackware went public.)
What is the Slackware Linux Project about?
Slackware Linux is an advanced Linux operating system designed for easy and simple use as well as great stabilities. The idea is to make a Unix-like Linux distribution and provides many development tools and features for those who like to web browse and those who want additional programs.

What are the differences between the Fedora Ubuntu Arch Slackware OpenSUSE Red Hat Gentoo and Mandriva distributions?
Since the internal 'kernel' is the pretty much the same for the distributions what you are getting is the method of installing (how pretty it looks...) and other vendor added tools. The basics stay pretty much the same from distribution to distribution.
