From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Me too. On a 21" crt that I was so proud of. ;) it was the game in town before gnome. I do remember it fondly though. I may take it around the block for old times sake...

Yep. Also had a 21" CRT and very wonky window decorations with Enlightenment.

Nowadays I can't use non-tiling window managers anymore, so I'm stuck with sway.
