Abstract
Patrick Volkerding was a student at the Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM) in 1993 when his AI professor asked him to install SLS in the computer lab to get the benefit of its better LISP interpreter. Volkerding did so, and then he improved the distro itself by fixing bugs and making modifications for future installations at the lab.
