I was 60 when I installed first installed Linux. It was Redhat 6.1 and I haven't looked back since. I used the dos tools on the CD to resize my disk to install my first dual boot.

I was about 20 or so then i went back to windows cause I couldn't keep the modem running. then in Aug I downloaded Mandrake 8.2 and haven't really booted into windows really other than to play games and I haven't even really done that since mmmmmm october or so.

Are there only two of us old farts here?

Kids! All of you!

Hey more power too you wish some of my relatives knew some thing more than here is the power button now what.

I was 15 ( now 19 ), Good old Red Hat, back in the glory days.

Slackware 96 baby!!

Holy Crap was that hard to get my S3Trio 64 card to work. Sound was not happening at all. I was 18 and thought I was the MAN for getting ppp-on to work. I was also using FVWM v 1.0. Anyone here even remember that window manager??

I installed red hat 8 for my first time ever for any linux distro on my 21st birthday. which was about 2 weeks ago.

9 months.

I got linux to boot on my See-and-Say.

Slackware 95 on a 386 was my first. I got X runing on it - slowly, and some file manager called fv something or other I can't remeber now. I was 32 then. I can remeber trying to do a kernel compile that took it all day to do. I played around with it for a few weeks, and then didn't touch Slackware again until lastweek when I installed 8.1. From the word go, it all looked very familiar but I was impressed at how far things have come since. If it were not for certain games I like, I could easily abandon windows all together.

38 about 12/19/2002 mandrake 9.0 then Itried red hat for about a day then freebsd for about 15 minutes untill it made my mandrake go crazy. Still working on getting peanut to install.

i can't remeber how old i was but i remeber it was slackware 3.05 (im look at the cd i downloaded right now) and i am currently 21 now with slack 8.1

11 (1995), Debian, but I forget what distro, just that it took days to get installed and working right.

15 and now I'm 19 and 1/2..

It was an slackware version.. Can't quite remember witch..

6 months ago, I was 14 then and I'm 14 now...

47 then, 47 now.

Mandrake 9.0.

Haven't looked back. Never before thought messing around with command line might be fun

And so - never mind the old f*rts; who's the oldest grrl?
