| xxx | I first started using Linux in 1997, when I bought a book and it had a CD of Turbolinux inside. Impressed with it, I started trying out Debian and Red Hat. A few weeks later, a server I managed that was running UnixWare was being used as an unauthorized smtp relay, so I temporarily installed a Linux server to handle the load. Of course, the temporary Linux server became the production server and UnixWare was migrated off the other production server not long after that. For the next few years, I became an open-source and security consultant for a large telco, and a consulting firm specialising in computer security. When the vendor of a popular Linux distribution I was using discontinued their free product and started producing "Enterprise" versions, I participated in a "Legacy" project who's mission was to publish security updates for their now unmaintained free versions. Unhappy with the now persistent alpha-quality of their free version, I searched for a new distribution to use and to recommend to people. |
