I'm only a young whippersnapper(17), and learnt how to use a computer with a 386 dx 44(Which is still around somewhere with Doom2 yeah!).and Win 3.1 when I was 11. As my dad has been in the computer world for 25+ years he had been using Linux since 0.9X (with a smug smile as well) He always used to tell me that MS was really a load of poopoo. I upgraded computer and os to MS win 95. Then I dicovered the joys of Linux. The one thing that attracted me to linux was The Gimp. My first linux distro was Redhat 6.2

Ahhh the memories; trying desperatly to compile some game or other and wondering what the hell this make and make install buisness was about.

one other thing that stick out in my mind is my dad showing me this thing called the world wide web, This must have been when I was about nine/ten. Ahh the halowed sounds of a 14.4k modem :)

PS Who is the youngest person on this list?
