Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬History of #CentOS: How a biochemist's #Linux hobby project became the enterprise world's default #operatingsystem
When a community came together after #RedHat said Windows was 'probably the right product'
#GregoryKurtzer, CentOS's founder, tells the story of how the Red Hat #EnterpriseLinux clone was born of a small group of rebuild hackers and Linux fans who were angry that #RHEL had replaced #RedHatLinux and convinced they could do better.

Now that I have upgraded my Gateway 2000 to a Pentium, it's time to install my first Linux distro - Redhat Linux 6.1. I paid $99 for this in 1999 if I remember correctly.
The fedora is from Redhat too, back when my team was doing hundreds of RHEL installs a day.

My #linux distributions history:
1995: #slackware, my first linux experience, in my campus lab as a student of information engineering, also install this on my PC using dozens of floppy disk.
2000: #redhatlinux (not #RHEL), mainly used as my cybercafe router and servers. Also try #knoppix on my PC occasionally
2003: Fedora Core Linux (called as #Fedora Linux now) as a continuation of of #redhat linux. Fedora was also the first time linux was used as my primary OS on my PC and laptop.
liaIt seems like common knowledge to say that the "Linux desktop" has come a long way from its beginnings, and that while it used to feature quite a horrendous and complex user experience that was really "only for nerds", it's now - thanks to decades of volunteer improvements - finally on par with the user experience of commercial software.
Nowadays, even non-"computer people" can set up and use a Linux system, while in the past, you couldn't even get through the installation without a PhD in compsci.
That's what people keep saying.
But honestly, after having gone through a Windows XP installation right after a Red Hat Linux 8.1 installation, I am not sure about this at all anymore?
Even with both being systems released around the same time, Red Hat was considerably easier to set up and overall more user friendly.
Both feature graphical installers in plain English, accessibility options, language and locale selections from the very beginning.
Windows however confused me with "workgroups" and "domains", which I didn't know what to do with for a personal PC. Scroll bars were unresponsive. It also took way longer to install.
Red Hat didn't have any of these issues, and even allowed me to choose a bunch of thematically ordered software to pre-install, all in a big menu with icons and explanations, which was nice.
Why did people think back then that Windows was more "normal people friendly" than Linux? It's utter nonsense.
