Slackware 3.6/4.0 back in 1998-99 Never forget.

The joy of startx command working (sometimes)

Fun times.

I remember when I had to choose whether I was a slackware guy or a debian guy!

I chose slackware like many french speaking fellas around. Oh, the times.

PS: debian all the way since.

Slackware 11 was all I had in PC as univ student circa 2006-2008 (yep, just said goodbye to Win XP). All the tools I need to do assignments were provided in 3 CDs. At that time, fast internet connection was considered a bit expensive.

Now I'm happy with Debian.
