A black-and-white text-mode Linux installation screen showing network configuration values such as domain (tamu.edu), host IP (192.9.200.1), netmask (255.255.255.0), network address (192.9.200.0), broadcast address (192.9.200.255), default gateway (192.9.200.254), and nameserver (192.9.200.254). Below, the installer asks for confirmation to install Linux on /dev/hda1 and displays EXT2 filesystem creation details, including block counts, inode counts, block size (1024 bytes), fragment size, block groups, and group layout

Who else misses reading the Readme file after installing new software?

Well, here it is. Libranet GNU/Linux 2.7 Classic

#Linux #RetroComputing #LinuxDistro #OpenSource #LinuxHistory #Tux #LinuxLife #Nostalgia #Unix #FOSS #TechThrowback

A dark teal desktop with a single terminal window (xterm) open near the top-left. The terminal shows green ASCII art reading “Libranet” and text “Libranet GNU/Linux 2.7-Classic” followed by a shell prompt “sinclair@libranet:~$”. A taskbar runs along the bottom with small icons at left and a clock at the right displaying “09:04:11”. The mouse pointer is visible to the right of the terminal

Hmm... heard of this distro but never tried it before. Guess I will today if it works

Okay we're fine now. Take Caldera OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4

#Linux #RetroComputing #LinuxDistro #OpenSource #LinuxHistory #Tux #LinuxLife #Nostalgia #Unix #FOSS #TechThrowback

A KDE desktop screenshot with a blue Caldera Systems wallpaper and icons down the left side (OpenStore, Register Now!, Autostart, Trash, Templates, Floppy, Floppy_2, CD-ROM). A "KDE Control Center" window is open in the center showing a left-hand tree of settings categories and system info on the right: KDE Version 1.1.2, User: sinclair, Hostname: the-mainframe.nodomain.nowhere, System: Linux, Release: 2.2.14, Machine: i686. The bottom taskbar shows virtual desktop buttons labeled One–Four, several application icons, and a clock reading "07:31 Jan 01."

Oh Caldera...

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

#MandrakeLinux #Linux #RetroComputing #LinuxDistro #OpenSource #LinuxHistory #Tux #LinuxLife #Nostalgia #Unix #FOSS #TechThrowback #Mandriva #Mandrake

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-

#MandrakeLinux #Linux #RetroComputing #LinuxDistro #OpenSource #LinuxHistory #Tux #LinuxLife #Nostalgia #Unix #FOSS #TechThrowback #Mandriva #Mandrake

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:
