I first heard about it in about 1994 when a Unix guy I knew told me about a type of Unix that could run on regular computers. He loaned me a POSIX book, but I didn’t really hear anything until 98. I started getting fed up with all the problems with Windows 98, and I started installing it and breaking it on any machine I could get access too. I don’t know how many floppies I formatted with each disk image of RedHat and Debian. I broke the school network a few times with things like accidentally setting up a DHCP server. I sent a patch to the kernel. I Learned a whole lot those first years.

Markdown files and Logseq https://logseq.com/ as the front end. I’ve been using Mardown for over 10 years, and it’s worked for me. Work uses JIRA, but I keep my own notes and copy in them in as necessary.

Only 30 tabs, you need to bump those numbers up!

Debian 2.2 “Potato” on a stack of floppies. If one was corrupted, you had to reimage it, and hope the download was good or you’d be sitting and waiting for a while.
