This is where I got started using Linux. Oh the memories. I even have some of my (terrible) screenshots on there and had submitted a bunch of news articles and hundreds of comments. Now I don't even remember my username.

  Oh the memories of nights spent downloading sources on Dial-Up and nights compiling them on Gentoo. Back then we all had hope for the bright future for Linux on desktop, but it never made it, now we are all on OSX :/

    Most of my developer colleagues indeed are using OSX, and have for years already. Using Stetson-Harrison method, we have 80% OSX / 10% Linux / 10% Windows.

    Gentoo: My linux educator. The fact that you needed to make your own kernel and configure a lot of things on your own made me learn a lot about Linux and GNU. Much more than debian or redhat. There is great value in that I think.

    To be fair, I use Debian at work and gentoo on both my personal boxes. So not all of us are on OS X (though my work laptop is a macbook since I didn't get a choice).

    Speak for yourself, i use GNU/Linux everywhere, even on the PHB-supplied Apple notebook. You can pry my comforting illusion of freedom from my cold, dead hands!¹ :) 1. I refer to the multitude of binary blobs required to make anything work these days. Lamentable.

    +1 i3wm on Archlinux until I bought a Mac. Every once in awhile I get itch to go back. Then I go for a walk and the urge passes. :) Thx for sharing.

I can't thank you enough for this link. This is the exact nostalgia boost I needed. (Many nights while in college, computer parts all over my apartment floor, installing FreeBSD, NetBSD, Slackware, Debian on different boxes just because) I tried every possible WM/Desktop I could find.
