Hey Jeffrey

I set up my first distro in the early 2000s. #Mandrake, then #Ubuntu.

I later switched to #Linux Mint. Now I use #Manjaro, both at work and at home

Linux keeps improving !

People seemed to like my Mandrake 7.2 install so have 5.1 too. Glad it worked this time :blobsmile:

A blue KDE desktop screenshot with no open windows. Device and folder icons (Trash, Templates, Autostart, CDROM, FLOPPY, HOME, RPMmanager, XKill) run down the left side. A gray bottom panel shows workspace buttons labeled One–Four and small application icons; the clock reads '06:20 Jan 01'

A blue KDE desktop screenshot. A terminal window near the upper-right displays a root prompt and the output 'release 5.1 (Venice)'. Icons for Trash, Templates, Autostart, CDROM, FLOPPY, HOME, RPMmanager and XKill line the left side; a panel with application icons runs along the bottom and the clock reads '06:19 Jan 01'

A blue KDE desktop screenshot showing the KDE Control Center window centered. The control panel lists categories on the left and system details on the right (User: root, Hostname: localhost.localdomain, System: Linux, Release: 2.0.35, Machine: i686). A small 'About KDE' dialog overlaps the lower-right with text about the KDE project and an OK button. The bottom panel and taskbar icons are visible; clock reads '06:21 Jan 01'

Something has gone wrong heh. This was supposed to be Mandrake 5.1

A distorted Linux desktop showing two terminal windows at the top-left and top-right corners, each displaying a root prompt. The background is heavily glitched with horizontal noise-like lines, and a mouse cursor shaped like an “X” is visible at the center

Ok we are actually all done-

Screenshot of Linux Mandrake 7.2 with the KDE 2.0 desktop environment. A blue “About KDE” window titled “K Desktop Environment. Release 2.0 Release Candidate 1” occupies the lower center and contains text and a small green cartoon dragon image. The desktop wallpaper is a pale yellow-to-white gradient filled with large stars and features a large anime-style girl on the right wearing a yellow blouse, blue skirt, star-shaped earrings and holding a staff topped with a star. A column of classic desktop icons (CD-ROM, Docs, Internet, Netscape, Printer, etc.) runs down the left edge, and a blue taskbar with application buttons and system tray sits along the bottom

All done :blobsmile:

Screenshot of Mandrake Linux 7.2 (Odyssey) desktop running KDE 2.0. The desktop has a solid background and several icons along the left side, including 'CD-ROM,' 'Doc,' 'DrakConf,' 'Floppy,' 'Internet,' 'Netscape,' 'News,' and 'Printer.' A terminal window is open showing the command cat /etc/mandrake-release and its output: Linux Mandrake release 7.2 (Odyssey) for i586. The KDE panel is at the bottom of the screen with workspace switchers, a KDE Control Center button, and a clock reading 03:12

Hmm pretty

Mandrake Linux boot screen with a purple background and a cartoon penguin on the left. The system is running Aurora and displays boot messages with green checkmarks for completed tasks, including configuring kernel parameters, setting the clock, activating swap partitions, and setting the hostname. A filesystem check on /dev/hda1 is in progress on the right side

Hi Mandrake Linux... or Linux Mandrake?

This image depicts a cluster of yellowish-brown fruits, possibly berries or nuts, nestled among dried leaves on the ground. The background consists of various shades of brown and green foliage with some rocks visible in the upper left corner. This photograph appears to be an old print from around 1900 to 1920, as indicated by its style and quality. It is part of a collection titled "Wild flowers of Palestine," featuring Mandrake (Mandragora officinarum L.). The American Colony in Jerusalem was the source of this photograph, which likely has historical significance related to natural flora found in that region during that time period.

Happy Samhain to those who celebrate it. In 2023, I made this mixed-media artwork inspired by the Pagan tradition.

A spooktacular (if I do say so myself) portrait showing a bat flying low over a decaying field beond a stump while the night sky is disturbed by an unearthly electrical storm which hangs over the mountains in the background. A group of jack-o’-lanterns, carved from turnips, sit on the ground opposite the bat. A tree grows in the background. In the corners of the portrait are illustrations of plants. Inscribed over everything is a magic circle with a pentagram, elemental and astrological symbols, and the Wheel of the Year.

J'utilise #Linux depuis plus de 25 ans, surtout #Mandrake, en parallèle de #Windows au boulot et sur 1 ou plusieurs PC persos
Je vois un peu partout des incitations aux utilisateurs W10 de passer à Linux, c'est 1 bonne chose
Le pb que je vois est la multiplication des distributions
Windows a 1 ou 2 versions.
1 nouvel arrivé peut être découragé ou dérouté par le nbre de distrib
Même si je ne l'ai pas testé en personne, Zorin Os me semble être 1 bonne transition vu les critiques que j'en ai lu

Das kann ich mir vorstellen, ich habe 2005 mit #Mandrake Linux begonnen. Kam dann zu #Ubuntu und weiter zu #LinuxMint, welches ich aktuell in der #LMDE Version 6 benutze.

@Jill_linuxgirl Thanks for the nice shoutout!

And @gael you got a big shoutout here, too, as creator of Mandrake!

By the way, I joined #MandrakeSoft on Aug 1, 2000, with my first task to switch #Mandrake as the first distro to CUPS, and the first #LinuxMandrake with #CUPS was 7.2, from September 2000.

Jill, but even in the dark years of LPD it detected your printer already (thanks, Gaël)!

And get well soon @MichaelTunnell !

@gael You started early, in i386 times, Linux' first architecture. When I started in 1997 with SUSE 5.1 we had mostly Pentium and some i486, 8MB and 16MB RAM, FVWM, built KDE 1.0 first time in 1998 (?) (on SGI IRIX), installed Mandrake Linux for the first time on my first laptop mid-1999, and on my wife's PC in April 2000, got invited to work at MandrakeSoft to switch the distro to CUPS min-2000.

So you did an important step to what I am now. Thanks!

@ruisan @manum yo soy mayor y sí, empecé con Red Hat, Mandrake, Mandriva... luego lo intenté con Debian y era demasiado para mí en esa época. Cuando salió Ubuntu estuve yendo y viniendo de Fedora a Ubuntu, hasta que en 2009 con un portátil con Vista en que no se podía hacer nada puse Ubuntu Karmic Koala y hasta hoy. #Ubuntu #Fedora #redhat #debian #WindowsVista #Mandrake #Mandriva
