First Linux Experience

[Nathan England]

In 1993 I downloaded 14 floppy images and used rawrite to copy the images to 
diskette. I installed all 14 floppies of slackware and only looked back when 
I couldn't figure out X. But then I found lynx and all was okay.

I ran slackware until about 2 years ago I rolled my own and have been using 
that ever since. I occassionally run archlinux. It's my prefered 'cookie 
cutter' OS as I am not a fan of Fedora/SUSE/Debian (of any flavor)/Mandriva 
or any others.

Though corporately, since I have not finished my update of PaysonLinux, I am 
running Fedora Core 5 on several corporate servers.
