Hello, I have been a Linux enthusiast since around 1994/1995 where I learned about it at Iowa State University. I experimented with it for a few years and then began using it at work in 1999. Starting in 2001 I began using it on and off as a desktop OS.
Prior to 1999 I used Slackware exclusively (I still have some wu archive slackware subscription cd-roms from 1995! In 1999 I began looking for a business-grade linux and after trying Corel and Caldera settled on Red Hat 6.
