I Installed . . . I believe it was Redhat 6 when I was around 10.

For a long while after that though, I was still using Winblows - however, in the last 2 years I've really been soley using Slackware.

I tried Redhat 8 & 9 - but I didn't like either. . .and Mandrake just wasn't for me. . . They just seem too "dummy" proof I guess

Well, Have a good day everyone :-D


Syllogism

16 or 17, Now 23


Mandrake, then a few years of a break, then Redhat, and now Slackware on every box that runs it, and Debian on the Imac.

I also want to play with freebsd when I have time, even though its not quite linux

I was 15 and i tried mandrake 9 - Hated it. I gave up. Went back when i was 16 and am now 17 and I only use windows for one purpose (minidisk) and thats once a month. In fact i hate windows so much I installed zonealarm so i can block everything so its not connected at all to then net. The only way windows is secure!

I was 12 when Windows 2K Pro crashed and wouldn't reinstall. AFter 20+ installations of Mandrake 8.2, I found the problem in my bootloader and put 9.1 on here, although I'm switching to Gentoo. I'm 13 now .

15 no that was a chick

Aehm 27 but that was in 93

I was a 36, and now I am 37 and a half

me;
actually it was 8 months ago. my first dist was MDK 9.2 then 10.0 now FC2..it will be gentoo soon..

I think I was 17. It think it was Mandrake 7. Now I'm 19 and Mandrake 10

12 or 13 .

The install of Red Hat 6 was a nightmare , because the damn thing simply would nto run Xwindows on the Intel 810e card .

Now I have an upgraded computer and I've installed RHEL v3 at least five or six times (on different computers , of course) . I am now 16 .

17 and a half, now 19

I started with Red hat, then SuSE and now I'm enjoying my Gentoo

I was just 17 and am 17,5 now. Started with and still using debian. Maybe if I have time I'll get gentoo and/or slackware as well

I was 19 when I began using Linux.

I was 21 when I installed my first Linux distro-RedHat 7.3

Now I am 24.It just remind me that time passes really fast.

14 ! Started out with Knoppix, once or twice. THen installed Mandrake 10.

Ill be 15 in 12 days !!!

Still with Mandrake...

Happy birthday for then!! I'm always amazed at the number of people that started using linux at the same age as me or younger! I'm 17 now and have moved to linux full time. I love linux as it means I can have more fun with my computer and also feel good ethically. I dislike Microsoft's methods and I don't think they should be condoned. I doubt I will ever go back to a non open source system. Its the way of the future. I give MS 10 years tops before they are relegated to the second most used OS. The only way they can stop that is to lower their prices, improve their product and have more frequent releases. Non of which look likely in the near future but ah well.
