Some environments are almost toxic trying to ask question or get support (ahem, arch linux chats), but try to not be those folks. My first exposure to unix was in 99, my first tech job, we had a solaris shell account on our network management server to hit everything we wanted in an isp network. In 2000 at a new job, I learned what linux was with some coworkers teaching me linux and solaris simultaneously, and installed slackware on my server for years. It served me well for years, breaking, rebuilding, learning, and other things that acquainted me to the experience. Learning linux prepared me for the future, learning other distros and cross-linux disciplines to be somewhat productive in an industry even if not a system administrator or anything in particular. I do mostly network and security, and linux rules these, even if vendors name themselves as something else, they all end of day run linux, which at least lets you know where they and you subsequently live. Learning never goes out of vogue, keep doing it. Even windoze. I'd suggest even if pirating (or pay cheaply [1]) a copy of windoze server learning Active Directory and other windoze things to boot. At this point, you'll never escape windoze. Funny now that microsoft's best selling platform *is* linux now, but still good to know both worlds as they become inseparable. -mb Windows is everywhere. Run what works best. How far the community has come. I think most hate M$. 20 years ago you would have got some heated push back (flames) for your Windows comments. Good that the community is becoming more understanding.

That sounds like about the same time I came around. If I remember right it was the installfest at glendale community college. Redddhat didn't work for me so the next month I took ithe computer to the monthly meeting and had Hans put windows back on. I don't know why but I went to the next installfest and told every one redhat didn't work and they put debian on and that was it. I never had windows again!

correctionI now have windows on my laptop but my main computer is linuxand all of my computers between 199? and now have been Linux. Hm, I can't remember if the other laptop I had was a windows box or linux so there's that. On Sun, Jul 4, 2021 at 12:20 PM Michael wrote: > > That sounds like about the same time I came around.

Re: boy am I glad I have a basic understanding of linux thanks to you guys.
Heh, yeah. I started out with one of the first actual distributions from Red Hat the first year they introduced it in 1996. Red hat has been in the Linux arena for at least 25 years at this point. I am also one of the few founding members of PLUG still active on the list (we got our start with the steering committee back in 1997 and by mid to late 1998, were a full blown Linux Users group with a governing board and everything). So, yeah, I’ve been around a very long time in Linux. I still use it for it’s accessibility when other OS platforms fall flat (like windows does every damned day of the week). -Eric From the Central Offices of the Technomage Guild, Historical records Dept. > On Jul 4, 2021, at 7:49 AM, Steve Litt via PLUG-discuss > wrote: > > Eric Oyen via PLUG-discuss said on Sat, 3 Jul 2021 15:00:25 -0700 > >> Yep, >> Some of us even have experiences going back to kernel .099. :) wow, >> it’s been almost 30 years. >> >> -Eric > > I don't know which kernel, but my first Linux was Redhat 5.1 in October > 1998. > > SteveT > > Steve Litt > Spring 2021 featured book: Troubleshooting Techniques of the Successful > Technologist http://www.troubleshooters.com/techniques > --- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
