Re: Are there any Linux users on this board?
One thing to tie into the season, a live CD like ubuntu among others is a great way to shop online for Christmas presents without risking there being any kind of record for someone to see what you got them.

The "license" that Ev1 "purchased" did not benefit anyone. There was no "SCO" unix code in Linux that they themselves did not submit under the GPL and the license they sold to various parties actually violated the GNU license that the Linux Kernel is distributed under.bmwrdr wrote:Oh wow!

Lesson learned, don't beat a dead horse. But nowadays we see the benefits :-) A fully fledged OS with anything one can ask for. And it is for free, helps everybody who wants it and it surpassed all "payware" by far!

WooHoo! someone else who started with slackware.TheArmedFarmer wrote:I started with Slackware back in the mid 90s and never looked back at the MSFT world. Today we run Fedora and Centos on most of our machines but we play with other distros for fun. All our computers and laptops all run Linux. No MSFT or Apple to be found in our home.
It's nice to know Linux because my phone runs Linux and I can ssh into it. From my phone I can ssh back to my desktop and check my mail (using mutt) from anywhere in the world. Love it.

Yes, since Kernel 2.0.0 with a Slackware version called "Slackware 96" and I still utilize slackware to this day. I also use Debian, SuSE, Ubuntu, and others including an Android variant called Cyanogenmod.
