Open-Source Web-Sites, Memories Of The Past

[devius]

I was tempted to do a joke similar to that, but I managed to refrain myself Holy crap was it ugly. If I hadn't seen those shots of phoronix "back then" I would never had believed that it didn't look like this back in 1998... or 2004 when it was created.

FYI a Phoronix site redesign is slated to potentially come this summer.

Wow that Red Hat site pic was from before I ever started using Linux which was sometime around late 2001 to early 2002. I can't believe it's been almost a decade. Also thanks for the memories of pre-Novell SuSe, it was one of the first distros I stuck with for a fairly long time. Back then I was just experimenting a lot and wound up doing a lot of distro-hopping. I believe SuSe was my second distro I used for a substantial amount of time. The first was Slackware. I still have vivid memories of going through dependency hell in Slack. It was brutal but I didn't mind because I learned a lot. Also after going through dependency hell using Slack around 2001/2002 every other distro after seemed like a breeze to get things installed... well most of them anyway.

If I remember correctly my distro progression was:

Slack (2001/2002 - 2003) > SuSe (2003-2004) > Ubuntu (2004 yep the very first release) > SuSe (2004 - 2005) > Gentoo (2005 - 2007) > Ubuntu (2007 - 2008) > Fedora (2008 - Present)

Classic. No one was spared. Frightful.

Is that before or after Steam on Linux is launched ;-)

Well, as I've said in a post before, I won't be stepping down from my role at Phoronix until after the Steam Linux client is shipping.

That means that you won't step down for the next 20 years
This is greats news, because we want you to stay running Phoronix.
