I was started fist by hearing Pardus (which was developed by TUBITAK / the scientific and technological research council of turkey then turned into debian derived shit) 2008.2 version of it. Summer of 2008...
Then returned to Windows because i needed office and such for elementary school homeworks (i wasn't know Openoffice back then)...
Used backtrack 3 & 4 from live usb with persistence in usb drive... When i got nice pc and had nice internet connection i stopped using it... (because of i dont need it)
I really went deep into gaming and such, where i learned programming logic and such by test&error way... I was using wordpad (such a noob thing)
Then i started to die from boredom (same people same guns etc) and I always have been had slax on my usb but never used it actually, generally helping other people about viruses / data loss etc. Also heard a lot of Ubuntu thing (i never liked sound of its name). I started to boot into slax when i'm not playing, messing around and discovering things (as i did in the beginning which boosts your curiosity) And then installed ubuntu (Because slax 7x was not installable and my research gave me nothing)... But ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 were kind of broken by itself, i was braking something 2 times a day atleast... Then i come up with a idea that copies and pastes whole system... (2013 - may)
I created a bash script to copy whole system on-the-fly and write mbr mark partition as active format it with ext3-4 etc. I installed slax over ubuntu.
That computer is broken since 2013 - oct. I'm using VAIO - VPC-W netbook, installed slax on it, using custom kernel, custom desktop (2bwm and bar and feh are enough) and im happy with it :)
Thats my story guys... :)
