Linux’s Long way

Welcome back, Gnomies! My word, how Linux has matured! My fiance brought home a book on
Linux she picked up - it looked brand new, but was published in 1998. Wow! The book covered
Red Hat 5.1, Caldera OpenLinux Lite 1.2 and “StarOffice.” I’ve thumbed through the book and
can’t help feeling exhausted - the book covers Apache, sendmail, dns, routing, shadow passwords,
tape drives, and much, much more. If I just wanted to read e-mail, even in 1998, I’d have dropped the
book and gone straight back to Windows. Sometimes I wonder how I’ve survived on a diet of Linux
with KDE as my only desktop. But here I am, and here it is. Linux has come a long way…
Happy Linuxing,
Steve Lanpher
