LXer: What is a Linux user?
 

Published at LXer:

In only two years, the Linux kernel will be 30 years old. Think about that! Where were you in 1991? Were you even born? I was 13! Between 1991 and 1993 a few "proper" Linux distributions were created, and at least three of them—Slackware, Debian, and Red Hat–provided the backbone the Linux movement was built on.read more

I found Linux in 1994 - ZipSlack, then RedHat & Debian - went full time Linux in 1999.

Yes, I'm a man with a beard :) - but I also appreciate the ease of installation & maintenance we now have - but still use the command line in preference to searching out an equivalent GUI program. ;)

(Still using Debian based distros today.)

I was 12 in September 1991, when the initial release of the Linux kernel took place. I was using the Atari 1040ST for gaming, and arguably in a simpler and happier place.
