I switched in 1992. Back then it was Slackware, installed from 3.5 floppies, and manually building the kernel and X11.

I think that's about the time I was using OS/2. It would actually multi-task, and Windows programs ran better with that than on it's own platform. I don't think I would have attempted to manually build that stuff. Good on you.

This is The Great Awakening. Our community is international, focused on helping ourselves and others walk away from the programming, and return our governments to "by the people, for the people!"

All GAW users must adhere to the highest standards of conduct, whichever .WIN they are on. If we are notified by other moderators of incivil behavior on other .WINs, you WILL be banned here!

Civil Discussion ONLY**

They want you divided.

They want you labeled by race, religion, class, sex, etc.

Divided you are weak [no collective power].

Divided you attack each other and miss the true target [them].
