Linux

I’ve known about and tinkered here and there with Linux since early 1998. My first distribution happened to be an install of Slackware’s ZipSlack. I liked it a lot except for the minor problem of the majority of my hardware not working.

In December of 2001, after being completely incapable of putting up with the “future” of Windows with Windows XP, I made the switch. I switched full-time from Windows to Linux on my main workstation at home. I really haven’t looked back since. I used Redhat Linux 7.2, 8.0, and 9.0 for a while, but in the summer of 2003 switched to Slackware.

These pages are to document all the stuff I’ve done to help Linux work for me and the way I want to work.
