I actully have a slackware machine still running from 2003 (have restarted it twice).

when I went to school i used slax on my usb, we could only have windouche so i used my usb where ever i would go.

Me myself is a total slackware fanboy! :)

Today it is slackware, debian and Open/freebsd system that i run.

Cool meng!
So you were using Debian at age 4?

Nah, it's not good. Kids who grew up post 1998 are basically idiots with computers, who first started using computers when dual core processors were the norm. I grew up in the 90's and was able to appreciate old hardware and how to use a computer properly. Kids these days just have no appreciation for actual computing, all they care about is their YouTube and facebook.

90's kids represent!

"Unix from birth!"
That just sounds too good to be true!

Yeah we're all been there. I screwed up my computer so many times when first installing linux, especially when it comes to partitioning and formatting (dualboot windows). I always either accidentally pick the wrong partition or wipe the MBR.

I remember that, I remember the days when you could order free CD roms from their website.
