https://www.pcbway.com - PCB fabrication, assembly, 3D printing, CNC machining & more! Red Hat Linux 6.1 was released in October 1999, 25 years ago this month! So let's install it out on period...

What has your experience with Linux been like so far? How long has been your Linux journey? Mine began while I was studying computer science, and I’ve been in love with Linux since.

I have a pack of about 40. I needed 2 to set some old drives and talked to Geek Squad staff and other local computer places. The young staff had no clue what I was describing, so I had to order in bulk on AliExpress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
