Talking Introducing an old n00b

Hello everyone, I'm Rob. I've used Linux off and on over the last 20 years, beginning with Caldera OpenLinux. Who remembers that?!

I enjoy the tortures of Slackware, mainly because it forces me to learn, but also because the name is cool. I know it, and you know it.

Anyway, I figured why not register since I visit here enough looking for answers.

Welcome to LQ, Rob. I remember Caldera (Linux user since 1999). Also prefer Slackware (of Linux, anyway).
