I have went thru ( I never was able to spell that word correctly) many Linux distros. The first time I have ever heard about Linux was in 2008, when our old Pentium 4 with HT decided it had changed its mind about working for someone reason, and stopped working entirely with Windows. So my brother said something along the lines of "Hey, try to install Ubuntu Linux on it". At the time I did not now there was more then two os' in the world ( Windows and Mac). So we checked out their website, and how far the styling has changed since 9.04 is rather amazing because the site looked rather ugly back then. We never did download the operating system. And the computer died a watery death when our basement decided to let the sewage water come in. I always loved the machine.

Eventually tho, I bought myself a big 17" Toshiba Satellite L55, and after the first month of using it the thing got really slow. It rocked a Amd dual core 2.30 GHZ mobile chipset. Mad at the performance I looked for alternative systems on the net and here is the timeline. ( I am so interested in the different distros I wrote them down in order of using them, however I forgot to put down the dates as well)

Ubuntu 10.10 > Fedora Lovelock > Kubuntu 11.04 > Xubuntu 11.04 > Arch > Puppy Linux > Mageia > Funtoo > Ubuntu 10.4 (recived at Borders) > OpenSuse > #! > Ubuntu 12.04 > kubuntu 12.04 > Peppermint 1 > ROSA > Chakra > Sabayon > Puppy > Chrome OS > Slackware > Frugalware > Gentoo > Lunar Mage > Freebsd > DragonflyBSD > Arch #! > Gentoo

Right now I don't use my laptop as for a year after owning it, my brothers Toshiba Satellite died and I let him hold on to the charger. I am typing this on a family Windows 8 pc, and I would love some things like the charm bar Incorporated into Linux somehow. Pretty soon I am going to try and install Sorcerer or DragonflyBSD again. I really want to try BSD but I only use it for around an hour or so and then stop using it. I love ports but I like how Gentoo's ports are set up. One file to rule all make options.

And I love with Linux is tinkering with the kernel, and it seems easier in Linux with menuconfig and what not then to *BSD But I would love to learn to set things up.
