My dad was in the air force so I saw unix being used at a young age.. I started using Linux at 96 on a 386sx. Linux has come a long ways from back then. Building Linux from scratch with only a reference manual was not for the feint of heart. The Linux community can be snobbish and not kind at all. It is possible to find certain communities that are friendly and are willing to help. There is a fair bit of eliteism and that is a shame.

As most tech companies close off their ecosystems and sell your data off Linux has become a beautiful oasis. To be able to use it properly just requires some patience and some google. Some of us had no google when we started using Linux .

[QUOTE="klepto, post: 1065781, member: 87970"] My dad was in the air force so I saw unix being used at a young age.. I started using Linux at 96 on a 386sx. Linux has come a long ways from back then. Building Linux from scratch with only a reference manual was not for the feint of heart. The Linux community can be snobbish and not kind at all. It is possible to find certain communities that are friendly and are willing to help. There is a fair bit of eliteism and that is a shame. As most tech companies close off their ecosystems and sell your data off Linux has become a beautiful oasis. To be able to use it properly just requires some patience and some google. Some of us had no google when we started using Linux :D. [/QUOTE]
