    From Exodus@21:1/176 to All on Sun May 22 16:07:00 2022
    Found a wonderful and TRUE MEME today.

    How moving to New York and running Linux are alike.


    - Spend the 1st year relearning basic commands.

    - Spend the rest of your life telling everyone how great it is.



    HAHAHAHHA I never laughed so hard because it's so true how these Linux tools are.

    I'm surprised its listed as a north american idiom.. its old but pretty
    common here... I expected it to have a UK background.

    Wow, is Slackware still alive?

    You bet. It is the oldest Linux distribution still maintained.

    Slackware was the first Linux distribution I was exposed to, in the mid 90s. I still hadn't had my own computer for very long, and I didn't seriously get into Linux until a while later. But I rmeember when Slackware was on a set of 3.5" floppy disks, and it had an option where it could be booted up from DOS.

    Well. my first linux was Monkey Linux installed on top of MSDOS.
    That was interesting experience when I turned back to dos and I saw funny filenames tried to pretend being long names.

    Mine was slackware or the one that started with a 'y', I just can't remember it's been so long.... Took days to download the disk images is one memory,
    and hoping that the connection didn't drop in the process....
