Don't remember. Mid 90s I think. I don't now, but my son uses Debian on one of his boxes.

I started with SuSe Linux 8.0. I'm not sure exactly when that was, but according to your link it must have been in the late 90's. I now use SuSe Linux 10.2.:)

Ha! Thanks for pointing it out. I didn't notice it on first pass, but just read it. I'm proud to say that as tough as my install was, the date isn't burned into my memory. :)

... my 1st was when I took a programmer & system analyst course from 1992 to 1994 ...
... the PC section of the course was part MS-DOS, part Linux ...
... the mainframe section was mostly Unix with some DOS-VSE-JCL ...

My first programming course in 1964 involved FORTRAN and IBM punch cards. First office computer ran CPM and had a 12 inch floppy as the sole memory device. :)

... my intro to computers was grade 10 high school in 1975 ... we learned "data processing" with punch cards and Assembler ... later came COBOL, then in '83 I got an Apple II+ ...
