@tallship Oh man, this brought me way back. Two of my colleagues in the beginning of 2000s recommended me #Slackware as the best distribution to kick-start my #Linux journey. Initially I was sure they were trolling me as it took me good 3 months to get to the point I was able to launch X, but I’ll remain forever grateful as I learned so much because of it… To this day my muscle memory defaults to checking out man pages instead of Googling things 🤷🏻♂️😄
Whenever I troll that out, I manage to snag another fellow #Slacker or two - or at least, someone who understands intimately, the dynamics of what was going on in the #distro world back then.
@tallship@birnim First time I tried Slackware at a friends house was back in -96 but then it was on floppy disks. I can't however not say I remember a lot of the going on. 😆
