The penultimate version of Slackware to use the 2.0 kernel.
KVM acceleration works well and the extra speed of hardware virtualisation is welcome. The emulated vga device should be cirrus, and the newest emulated network adapter that I found to work is ne2k_pci.
Slackware 3.6 doesn't have a DHCP client, so IP addresses should be configured manually. The defaults with user mode networking in Qemu are 10.0.2.15 for the local machine, the gateway is 10.0.2.2 and the nameserver is 10.0.2.3
The driver should be clgd5446, and the option "NoAccel" should be used, otherwise the display won't work properly (but will bring back visual memories of what it was like trying to configure video in the past :-)). A copy of my XF86Config can be found here.
Slackware 3.6 comes with Netscape Communicator 4.07. Unsurprisingly, there's not much to report as being different to 4.77 in Slackware 8.0, however 68k.news works in Netscape 4.77 but fails with a communications exception in 4.07.
Slackware 3.6 doesn't have SSH at all. Telnet works, of course, for those few servers offering it, such as legacy.sdf.org

Looking for instructions :-)

Getting news on my favourite distro :-)
I wonder how many of you remember toastytech.com?
No SSH, which would be all but useless anyway, but you can still telnet into your favourite server. :-)
