- tehabe 10y agoI also remembered incorrectly, it was SuSE 6.1, the first one with Linux 2.2. It also came with WordPerfect 8 but I don't know if I actually used it.
- Zardoz84 10y agoI have yet the 6 cdroms . It was my first Linux/Unix experience. I remember trying RedHat and Debian, aparte of SuSE and I found at these moment SuSE YaST installer was the BEST installer (I was 14 years old ~> 98's)
- digi_owl 10y agoIirc, Gnome didn't have a dedicated WM for the longest time. for a while Rasterman (of Enlightenment fame) was working for Red Hat and Gnome used Enlightenment as their WM. But there came to a disagreement between Rasterman and the Gnome devs about where things were going, and he left Red Hat and started working on turning Enlightenment into a full DE. Not long after i think we started seeing various WMs being bundled with Gnome, culminating in some that used composition and OpenGL to render the desktops as sides of a cube. After that it seems that everyone involved with the major DEs got hooked on eyecandy.
- chriswarbo 10y agoI've been using Linux exclusively since ~2001, and I used to keep going back to either E16, or Gnome+E16. It's fast, unobtrusive and strikes a nice balance between customisation/eye-candy and minimalism. These days I use tiling WMs (mostly XMonad), but if I were to go back to stacked then I'd probably end up with E16 after a while :)
- pdkl95 10y ago> It's fast, unobtrusive I'm still using an $ECONFDIR that was initially created in ~1997 for exactly that reason. Everything else is either missing features (windowmaker) or slow (everything else).
