Me too! Looking at my old windows 98 machine and then at slackware Linux with enlightenment lured me to Linux and began a lifelong journey!
- torh 6mo agoSame for me. Slackware (I guess 4.0) and E16 was my first proper Linux installation. Learned so much during that time.
- oldge 6mo agoSame for me. He definitely contributed to my fondness and wonder of Linux back then.
- madaxe_again 6mo agoSuSE 5.1 for me, as it was what I could easily get the CD-ROMs for, as bandwidth was just a single 64k ISDN at school.
- malux85 6mo agoYeah that was the reason for me too, in order to get the distro CD ROMS I had to mail $10 to some random address and wait 4 weeks for them to be mailed back!
- madaxe_again 6mo agoI tell people you used to have to post a cheque when you bought stuff online and they just look at me like I’m nuts. It was basically just mail order, but on the web.
