plan on using it in the near future when I redo my Maverick partitions which
are EXT4. I have run FreeBSD and OpenBSD in a VM, but that is as close as
I've got. One day...
Caldera was the distro that got me into Linux. I saw it in the late 90s and
it got me thinking about installing it, but being me I procrastinated until
it was no more. I tried Corel and then Xandros, but my first big distro that
had me hooked was Mandrake. I lived in RPM hell for two years and loved it
for awhile! But I started looking around and discovered Debian based distros
and computing was never the same again. Linux could be fun and just work.
What a revelation! By the time that Fedora came out I was no longer
interested in RPM distros, except as a sandbox toy. It has been that way
ever since. My main distros have been MEPIS and then Ubuntu. Someday I
should install some of my old distros in VMs just for the fun of it. I have
a box of them in my basement with dozens of spindles. It would be
interesting to see how far we've come.
