https://www.pcbway.com - PCB fabrication, assembly, 3D printing, CNC machining & more! Red Hat Linux 6.1 was released in October 1999, 25 years ago this month! So let's install it out on period...
What has your experience with Linux been like so far?
How long has been your Linux journey?
Mine began while I was studying computer science, and I’ve been in love with Linux since.
Heh, that box and version of Redhat was the first I tried Linux, as well as the same year - 1999 Cost me $110 brand new from a local stationary shop. Which was a lot for a poor student!
Sadly didn’t last long as I just couldn’t get everything done in Linux as I could in Windows. And this was despite studying computing at the time.
Oh well 15 years later I tried again (Mint then Arch) and haven’t gone back to Windows since. 🎉
In the 90s during the first “mild hype”, I had Suse for quite a while, twice. Same problem with unavailable software though, I remember PGP Disc not being available back then. I remember the cool kids talking about Red Hat and Debian, you must have been one of them.
Probably going back now, since my 2011 hardware won’t work with Windows 11.
