    I remember, I was 23yo and in a BSc Computer Science. At the time our teachers were more BSD, SVR4, Minix, and of course HP-UX, SunOS, AIX, IRIX, etc. They didn’t like Linux, but us, students, would download kernel and gnu utilities on like 8 floppies, to install on 486, and then the 10 floppies for X11, what a nightmare it was, like Arch today :)

    My first kernel install was v0.99. What a time :) I used Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and now MX (still based on Debian) for a long time.

    Been using Debian Since Potato. Never had a real reason to use any other distro.

      Yep, I have 6 GNU/Linux distributions running concurrently on a variety of drives and devices and Debian is one of my favourites :)
