Oof. I am pretty sure it was Mandrake in 97. I bounced around trying what was around before settling on Gentoo for a decade plus. Then both my laptop and desktop got too long in the tooth to make distcc even worthwhile and migrated to Arch. I figured it was the closest distro to Gentoo that I wouldn’t have too many problems. I don’t know howong it’s been now, but I’m an Arch fangirl. I’ve installed it many times since on work computers as well. For remote systems though, it’s always Debian stable.

That’s just the way things were done back then. Slack has been around long enough that that’s just the way it is.

I’m thinking about going to Seattle in June. I’ve never been and I think it would be cool to visit for a week. It will be the first vacation for my wife and I without our children. So… 22 years?

tldr because I am too impatient to read through man pages or google the exact syntax for what I want to do.
