Arch wasn't around in 1998. I'm going to put my money on Slackware.

I used to love slackware, by far the best linux experience. It just worked well.

I started with Slackware and was happy with it, but must admit that is entirely because my Linux book from B&N came with Slackware on a CD.

Another fun observation in that page - You can only have up to 20k max participants in a Teams live event. The footnote says you can do larger events with Microsoft Stream, but following that link says Stream live events are deprecated, and the alternative is Teams. Hmm...

Probably. I just remember installing from a dozen+ 3.5" floppies onto my pizzabox '386 and breathing a sigh of relief when it booted.

> nor is it embarrassing I worked on a sharepoint project once. Let's just say I'm not putting it on my resume these days.

I avoid putting stuff on my resume that I don't want to work on again. I just pretend to re-learn Sharepoint for every new job I have

It used to change so frequently that I didn't have to pretend.

This brings back memories. Every LAN group had that one friend like you. I'm sure you made up for it if, like my BSD friend, you were handy with network troubleshooting and always brought spare CAT-5.

Well eventually I just... provided all the machines... and the house... https://kentonshouse.com

This is really cool! Did you build a similar house?

Back when Redhat was the name of the enterprise releases and the open source releases.

I think there was no separate enterprise release at the time. But could be misremembering.

Red Hat Linux 6.2E was the first "enterprise" release they made. Basically just standard RHL 6.2 but with long-term support. This release can be retroactively thought of as "RHEL 1"; The proper distribution that debuted as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2 was based on Red Hat Linux 9, with the similar promise of long-term support. Future RHEL releases are carved out of Fedora releases, the spiritual successor to RHL.

love this story very much. I had no idea WINE had been around for that long and was able to play starcraft etc. I have really great memories of playing starcraft with friends back in the day.... that game had enough staying power that we could all get into and out of in middle school and then again in college!

Wine is nearly as old as linux. First released in 1993. I had some awkward conversations with my parents as a teenage nerd looking into "winehq". They didn't believe me that it had nothing to do with alcohol.

Your parent being concerned about you browsing something about wine?

You're definitely not be French/European. Here our parents give us wine :) American?

It’s only forbidden for Windows users. I think the only character that Macs don't allow is the colon. AFAIK, everything else is fair game, even emojis. I just created a project with "ê" in the title. I wonder if I'll be able to share that with my Windows coworkers on Teams.

> AFAIK, everything else is fair game, even emojis FWIW, I generally expect emojis to be more compatible than other symbols, because they have no legacy meanings - ex. ™ has never been a path separator, or indeed anything else.

The problems show up when that name gets stored in a VARCHAR column somewhere...

No you’re right. If memory serves me well, I used to switch between Slackware 3, redhat 2 and Debian 1.2(?) at about that time. I never liked redhat, enjoyed Slackware but ended up not enjoying the lack of a package manager, so Debian did the trick a few years later. There was a single redhat release. These days, just like you, I use Debian.

Not similar, I built that house. (I'm Kenton.)

Or do you mean the new one, alluded to on the site? It's almost done... not ready to share yet. ;)
