Linux

Tux the Linux Penguin

Back in 2003/2004, my first exposure to Linux was conversing with someone on a forum and they sent me a .tar.gz file. I had no idea what this was or how to open it. They replied with "I forget that not everyone uses linux lol" and a web search later, I was down a rabbit hole. When I'd go to Office Max with my mom, I discovered the Linux boxed sets of SuSE, Red Hat, and I think Mandrake? I don't remember what sold in stores. I never purchased one (regretfully), but eventually, I got a copy of SuSE by going to a Novell event.

In these pages, I'll document my experiences with Linux and different distros. These days, I primarily use Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux), Ubuntu, and Debian.
