BSD is what you get when a bunch of Unix hackers sit down to try to port a Unix system to the PC.
Linux is what you get when a bunch of PC hackers sit down and try to write a Unix system for the PC. |

Hey, if I can dish it out, I'd better be able to serve some to myself. :D

Dailup was the shit bro, especially when you called someone and all you heard was that horrible noise... priceless.

I was like 11 and I used kubuntu.

|

I tried Kubuntu when i was 14. First time I actually used it full time was a few years back. I tried Debian Stable.

Last year when I fucked up my computer using the wubi.exe ubuntu installer. I've learned so much since then.

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 started out before the World Wide Web became as ubiquitous as it is now.
I used to access BBS's via dialup on a 14.4 kbit/sec modem. I was totally enthralled with animated gif porn. :D BSD is what you get when a bunch of Unix hackers sit down to try to port a Unix system to the PC.

I used Ubuntu because Canonical was giving away free CD ROM's. Too bad it was using GNOME.

I suck, my first time was actually last year with ubuntu 12.10... but still I can't wait for the new release to come out so I can try it and not worry about bug fixes. But yeah, I started coding and using C++, Java, and other things and was totally turned to linux stuff.

It was Ubuntu at first and the rest is - too many to mention

I started with Ubuntu hardy heron (8.04) to resurrect my dad's old computer, then I ran some small distribution (the name of which escapes me right now) on a flash drive that I would boot up on school and library computer until they locked them down, then I stopped using Linux for a while, and now Arch.

This is almost my same route... 6.x Ubuntu was really unstable as primary os on a 2006/7 laptop, i failed hard also because my IT knowledge was very limited. [...] I just muved from arch to debian (crunchbang) for limited time and the feel of unstability of arch.. i would like to try a more lowlevel os like slackware, gentoo or even *BSD but but my (unique machine i have) ultrabook is not the place for test machine... i feel like i need a pretty old pc to test all these educational OSes ;P |

The first time for me was Red Hat 8.0. Roughly ten years ago. Probably a 2.2-kernel if I remember correctly.
I remember I LVMed my two 3.5GB drives to be able to install all the packages, so I didn't miss anything. After that I went to Slackware 9.1, still have the CD-Rs somewhere. After a few years of distrohopping, I've landed with Arch on my workstations and Debian or CentOS on my servers. |

Mmh, maybe is better to spend some more words on my tought: for lowlevel i ment exactly what u saied: less GUI, less READY-TO-GO out of the box and a more higher knowledge needed to fit these distributions to your needs. can't you agree with this? As a fact, using an OS like gentoo tend to force you learn deeper in the mechanism of your os (like how the fuck ACPI works) at a lower level than a battery applet on ubuntu... that's educational for me
