Time to introduce myself

Herzlich willkommen!
I started with a C64, then an Amiga. I bought my first Linux (Suse) on CD in a box from a shop, but only returned (happily) to Linux in the 2020s

I remember too, I have also tried SuSe (The cameleon) if my memory is good.

Code: Select all

SUE (formerly SuSE):

- Created in 1992 by Nalle Gerber
- Initially based on Slackware
- Evolved into its own system called "Bastille Linux"
- Cameleon first appeared in SUSE Linux 7.0, released in 2001


Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL):
Early releases of Red Hat Linux were called Red Hat Commercial Linux. Red Hat published the first non-beta release in May 1995
- First version released in 1999 as Red Hat Linux 6.0
- Became Red Hat Enterprise Linux in 2002

So, RHEL is more recent than SUSE, which has a history dating back to 1992. Both distributions have therefore had long experience in the
 field of Linux operating systems.

Red Hat is a bit older than 1999: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Linux

You are right (I have corrected above)
"Early releases of Red Hat Linux were called Red Hat Commercial Linux. Red Hat published the first non-beta release in May 1995 ... This release was version 1.0 and was nicknamed "Mother's Day, the release was built on the 1.2.8 kernel"

Wilkommen herrTravolta, I am quite new here myself. Hope you have a blast with mxlinux. Out of interest, what was the micro computer scene like in East Germany in the 80's? Did people have alternatives at home or were they unaffordable and only found in institutions? Soviet stuff I expect?
