2 years agoOoooh! Look at you with yer fancy 14.4k modem! 13 year old me was pretty excited after swapping out a old 300 bps modem for a “blazingly fast” 1200 bps. BBS menus loaded almost instantly! Prodigy running on an IBM XT with 640k was almost usable!
As my personal day-tp-day system, It looks like 8 years of Ubuntu. I have a file server that just will not die that’s been running Ubuntu LTS since 2008 though.
Here’s my Distro journey:
-1996-1997 - Debian (Still dual booting Windows) -1997-2002 - RedHat Desktop 5.0-7.3 (Linux became my main day-to-day OS!) -2002-2003 - Crux -2003-2008 - Gentoo -2008-2012 - Ubuntu / Ubuntu LTS -2012-2014 - Mint -2014-2022 - Ubuntu / Ubuntu LTS / Xubuntu (I switched back to Ubuntu as my personal OS since I had deployed Ubuntu to over 100 systems at work, and I had a little netbook with Xubuntu) -2022-??? - LMDE 5 (Linux Mint - Debian Edition)
Still loving LMDE.
