   I think almost everyone has those default exports, organization and   
   host.conf from 1994 in their /etc directory. I also have hosts.allow and   
   hosts.deny from 1993 in /etc on my 14.2 system and that was before I   
   started with Slackware.   
      
   Usually I install my slackware systems from scratch and then on my home   
   systems copy my home directory from another machine. So those old files   
   in /etc are probably from a default Slackware 14.2 installation.   
      
   My oldest files in ~ are swedish.au and english.au from 1994 where Linus   
   Torvalds explains how to prononce Linux. However, those time stamps might   
   not be dates when I copied those files there. If I remember right I   
   started with Slackware 1995.   
      
   The oldest file in ~ which I can tell for sure was created by me is   
   ~/.workmanrc from 1996. That file was used by a program to play music CD-   
   ROMs. My guess is that the file firstly was created 1995 but later   
   updated 1996. However, the ctime of my oldest files in ~ on my current   
   machine is now 2018 when that machine was installed.
