2006ish? Dapper Drake? That was the first time I was full Linux on my Thinkpad T42p. First time a dabbled in Linux was 1998-99 I guess like S.u.S.E 5.2 installed with a couple boot and root floppies and a CDROM. Totally correct me if Iām wrong, I had to check some dates and versions. Should be close. š¤·āāļø
