Hi folks,
Just for a bit of fun (since it's Friday) - what was your very first exposure to Linux and what was your first distribution that you ever installed (and can you remember the kernel version?!).
Slackware 3 I think it was kernel version 1.2.13 late 1995. I managed to get it to boot to a prompt but had no idea what to do with it so went back to the then fairly new Windows95 which was about as stable as a stick of dynamite oozing slimey stuff. I had tried Linux because I was so p***sed of with Win95's instability much prefering DOS for stability but craving a 32bit multitasking environment. I didn't get a useable Linux system until RedHat 5.0 which I had X working out of the box.
I have tried out many many distros since and when I get around to it I'll retell "The Saga of BJ's Journey Around the Linux Distributions of the World" in the ALUG web site contrib area. :-)
-- Cheers, BJ
