Lo and behold, SuSE Linux 6.4 running on the Pentium 133. 🥳

This was surprisingly easy, including the XFree86 configuration (there was no X.Org yet). Looks like I happen to have very compatible hardware.

The distribution feels massive. There is a ton of software on those 6 CDs.

I plan to use this box/setup for the “upcoming” Advent of Code.

Another screenshot from my early Linux days:

Running SUSE Linux 9.0, listening to music with XMMS, texting on ICQ with Kopete, emailing with Thunderbird, and browsing my personal homepage in Firebird.

And it looks like I was trying to compile a kernel module for my server’s IDE RAID PCI card…

@itsfoss I thought it is an effort that is supported by EU politicians and/or staff but not officially recognized as the one true EU solution yet.

I love #Redhat but I wonder as well whether #suse or #kde's own distro wouldn't be the better choice. They might still end up using Fedora for the time being as there are some situations in which higher quality might be more important than local development.

I'll continue to stay on the #debian+#kde path.

1. As an employee of #SUSE, I need to mention that we actually have one completely European enterprise Linux distribution with over thirty [!] years of experience. We are perfectly ready to serve anybody who wants to switch from any US-centric distro.

2. Even if you don’t want to pay for it, I don’t think #Debian (although SPI is American), or #Ubuntu are exactly slaves to US whims (and I don’t even know what is a domicile of #Arch). And, of course, #openSUSE is gratis as well.

I'm not a SuSE user (anymore), but this video (and many others in this series) inspires me every time I watch it! Great job, and you can have whatever opinion you want about Justin Timberlake, but it's a great song that takes you away and makes your day more cheerful. Was just flushed into my timeline again on YouTube and I just have to share it with the (Fediverse) world.
