Dang it!

I fell for it.

And around 20 years ago I did go all-in Linux.

That was in 2004. So yeah, it went well, as I’m still running Gentoo.

The installation went ok, but it took ages. I had Compaq Armada E500: Single core 900MHz Pentium III and 256MB of RAM. I had help from my friend who explained in detail what we were doing and why during the installation process.

Next time I needed to install Gentoo I did it by my self. I had the Gentoo Handbook open on other machine and I followed it carefully. I was surprised by how smoothly the install went.

Few weeks ago I once again installed Gentoo onto a new machine. 36-cores (two Xeons) and 256GB of RAM. It’s always funny to compare how much more powerful my newest machine is compared to my first Gentoo machine. ;)

Oh and welcome to Gentoo. ;) If you need any help the forums are a great place to ask.

P.S.: A great username btw. 😁

And I started with Gentoo…
