Seeking the latest in Linux? There's a right way and a wrong way to use Distrowatch
Quoting: Seeking the latest in Linux? There's a right way and a wrong way to use Distrowatch | ZDNET —
When I first started using and writing about Linux in the late 1990s, there were just a few distributions to choose from, and even those were a bit hard to discover (unless you knew the right bulletin board or mailing list to join). I remember asking around and chatting about new distributions we'd discovered with Linux user groups -- which were actual face-to-face meetings!
There was a bit of mystery to it all.
But then things started to change. This underground movement was brought to the surface, and more and more people were in on the secret. Linux was out, and it wouldn't slink back into the shadows ever again.
