My Road to Linux...

 I started my interest in Linux after bought my first desktop computer wayback 1997. It started on, when instead of using Internet Explorer as my browser, I installed Netscape Communicator which was popular on that time. Since open source is the talk of the town, I came a cross about RedHat linux in the popular website Slashdot, and then I bought a book about linux with a RedHat 5.2 cd with it. I played with it from installing together with windows (dual boot). How many times, I have to format my hard disk just to install it. I tried other distro of linux like Mandrake linux, windows XP and Win 2000 and BEOS.

With 40 gig of hard disk, I have 6 OS consisting of 3 linux partitions RedHat 8, Mandrake 9, an experimental partition (linux, FreeBSD, OS/2, and Solaris) 2 Windows (Windows XP and Win 2000) and 1 BEOS(BEOS Max Edition). For my boot manager, I use "bootman" which is the boot manager of BEOS. I like this boot manger coz it is simple and easy to configure, but you have to install BEOS to use this feature. This is how I was able to install, configure, use and try different OS for my hands-on experience. The layout of my partition is below. That It..😍

My First Computer!!!

Year 1997 is the year that I was able to own a desktop computer. It is an assembled Pentium 233 computer with windows 95 as an operating system. This started my interest in the world of internet and in computers, and other operating system (Linux, Windows, BEOS and OS2). After that, I have the knowledge of how the computer hardware and software works. I upgraded my computer and this is last specs of my computer after I stopped in 2008 to work overseas.

• motherboard Asus A7V266-E Via KT266A Chipset and DDR Dram
• memory Crucial DDR 266 dram 778mb RAM
• processor AMD Athlon XP 1700
• agp card Matrox G550
• Hard Disk Maxtor 40gig
• Iomega CD-RW
• Sony CD/DVD
• Philips 109S monitor
• Creative Soundblaster live

I am very satisfied with my 1st computer desktop because I was able to learn Windows 95 and Linux on that time. Next time I will tell my journey to Linux and how I like it.
