It’s nice to have a chance to see such a high level GNU/Linux distro pushing the possibilities. I’ve been installing Linux systems since 1998. I can’t remember how many different distros I’ve installed, many no longer exist. This one is extraordinary and I have experience behind this opinion. My latest install runs on an Ultra Core 9 running multiple servers one natively and several within Docker containers. It’s a unique setup based on client wishes. I tried several of the kernels and researched much of the improvements, but I have to admit much of the tweaks are beyond me. Still it is obvious that the developers know the core of Linux and have created a distro that looks to the future.

Which are your favourite ones that don’t exist anymore? For me it would be Mandrake, Storm Linux, and the old Red Hats
I did install Mandrake and of course I loved the old Redhats. I would get them at the library on CD in the back of the Linux Books they had. I would also use Yellow Dog Linux to install on old Macs with RISC processors. I remember this big 11x14 book they had at the library of all the code in the kernel Pages and pages of C code. The first thing I would do is whittle down the kernel to the minimum I needed with the command line kernel configuration utility. Back in the day!!
