Probably still SLS then, although that might have just been at the point it
morphed to Slackware.
All this reminds me of my NCR Tower UNIX box - I seem to remember that the
hostname is compiled into the kernel on NCR's flavour of UNIX, so changing it
is a complete pain in the butt and not as simple as just editing some /etc
