Did not care for Red Hat, have not gotten around to loading Suse yet. Starting to get too comfy with Debian, I guess.

I really like Fedora. Of course, I've been running Red hat and Fedora since Red Hat 0.9 (I think--1994, anyway). Fedora 8 is probably the first Fedora distro I've had that works completely "out of the box". Sound, wireless, video, everything. I'm currently running it on a Dell Latitude D830 at 1920x1200.

I have to tell some Penguinist this one:

I had screen grab of one of the Red Hat releases (Valhalla). I had a friendly feud going at work with the IT Guy.

I use the graphic as wallpaper on my desk Windows machine, walked away and forgot about it.

Guy went beserk about me installing an "Unauthorized OS", went to my boss yelling.

"But...but...what are all those Windows icons doing there...?"

I opened Outhouse, stared at him, and shrugged.

It was like showing Dracula a Crucifix. Stark panic.

Am I dating myself? My first experience was with Yggdrasil Linux... Somewhere at home I've still got my copy of "Linux Bible, The GNU Testament" too...
