27 long and lovely years

Today is a good day because I have been using gnu+linux for 27 years. And BSD for about 10 years.

The first encounter I had with the linux kernel and the underlying os, was in 1998. A friend of mine and our computer science teacher. The teacher also had an interesting idea. We got a desktop computer to play around with. I had got an installation disc from a store (if I remember correctly). The disc included Redhat version 5.1 codenamed “Manhattan”, long before Redhat became RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and I also got this very thick booklet.
