A belated happy cake-day Ruud :^)
It’s been an enjoyable year, thanks for your hard work.
Yeah, Knoppix was kind of a ‘Tucows vibe’ distro. Pretty approachable.
Zen Linux was another short-lived 2005 liveDistro, which had a nice feel and Art.
Also, installing all https://trisquel.info/ versions side-by-side and doing a 17 year fast-forward would be cool.

I did not know that I needed loderunner-quake in my life.
Thanks for posting.
Save this Card# for later?
Fuck no!

8210, the smallest andnd not as robust as the 33.
I had a 6310, supposed business phone, which was a great all-rounder. Only downside was it had the outline of a dick.
DebianJr is the easiest pre-packaged distro for kids 7-12.
Under 12, I would keep it fully offline(remove NIC or blacklist MAC address.
Install a local wikipedia instance (or simple-wikipedia) for reference, and give them thumb drives/DVDs for media.
For the fully libre start to life, install Trisquel GNU/Linux and use the DebJr package list to install required software.
I chmod 755 each manually. I’ve never tried the automatic way, sounds easier.
Yes, using bash on all boxen.
Scripts start with #!/bin/sh ,because, that gives quicker execution times.
Any simple aliases, I put in .bash_aliases
Tried tcsh and zsh around 30yrs ago, all bash since then.

‘Landlady’ is the absolute correct choice.
From Wikipedia:
Cheung Cheun-Nam, known professionally as Yuen Qiu (Chinese: 元秋; born 19 April 1950), is a Hong Kong actress and martial artist. She is an expert of both Chinese martial arts and Beijing-opera skills, and was apprenticed at the Peking Opera School under the same master, Yu Jim-yuen, as Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung.
After being away from the Hong Kong film industry for nearly 20 years, she landed a role in Kung Fu Hustle only by chance. She was accompanying a junior woman fellow of the China Drama Academy at the audition but the director’s eye was on her. It was reported that Stephen Chow convinced her to take on the role only after unremitting and persistent persuasion.[citation needed]
Yuen later appeared in the movie Kung Fu Mahjong, with Yuen Wah, and has been active in cinema since then. (20 more films)
Heard this tune on the radio this morning and was wondering why they were saying ‘wunderbar’ in a song about a Russian mystic.
Thanks for the band and artist details. : -)
I used it in a university course in '95, not sure what distro, but customising your shell prompt, and setting automatic timed updates for the wallpaper in tvwm certainly felt like the future. Different and electric.
We would play the linux shareware first release of quake in 12-16 player. Hiding the executable by renaming it ekauq… didn’t work, still got removed from our directories.
There were installfests at the local LUG, which were a fun way to share tips and help others.
One Linux support business existed in our town in the 90s, installing and fixing Linux boxen for businesses. Mostly home/hobby use though.
Slashdot.org was covering the majority of Linux news. Either MS FUD or the nonsense SCO lawsuit, amongst all the positive advances.
Linux conferences were a fun way to make it more real and see many of the big names behind the movement and technologies.
Installed RedHat 4 or 5.1 around 98 and then found the power of Debian. Currently running Trisquel GNU/Linux because it is a fully libre distro with no proprietary blobs or other obfuscated parts.
Many thanks to RMS and all FLOSS contributors, there is such an incredible spectrum of tools available for free use. It has been great to see the progression and expansion over the decades.
