   I use only Linux, other than a work laptop that I'm required to    
   run Win10 on.  A little past the 20 year point too.  First ever    
   install was Slackware (or maybe SLS, can't remember) from    
   floppies... Eventually Redhat when it was still free, then    
   Mandrake for a while.  Back to Slackware around 2002 or so, and    
   been there ever since.  I do play around with other distros and am    
   familiar with most of them, but Slackware remains my primary (on a    
   Lenovo laptop).  I also have a few RPi's doing various things,    
   mostly running stock Raspbian.  The BBS runs on a seperate small    
   form factor Dell, also running Slackware.   
      
      
      
   ... If it weren't for Edison we'd be using computers by candlelight
