It was fun doing everything from ground up, bootstrapping from stage 1 and rebuilding everything with custom flags. It was a difficult process but I learned a lot and my programs were definitely faster. Too bad I've forgotten most of the stuff And, Ubuntu hasn't even been 'invented' yet during then. |
I guess I wasn't too precise.
Ubuntu was one of the oldest distributions to which people actually leeched on "massively".
The very first distribution was Slackware and as you have said, Red Hat that came right after it.
Fedora came from Red Hat.
So yeah, scratch what I have said, it is not what I meant, hehe.
Thanks for pointing that out.
