Encelo's Projectz - OS Experiences

My Linux adventure started somewhere back between 2000 and 2001, I wanted to try this OS, it was on everyone's mouth, and I have had the right unix background experience with NetBSD.
I had my powerful PPC Amiga and a spare hd, so I soon managed to install and use the LinuxPPC distribution with KDE1. (I don't want to talk about the effort I put into downloading any rpm by hand and sorting dependance issues with my 33.6k modem... ;-)

The system was a bit slow, maybe because of an inoptimized X server, maybe because the standard IDE port of the miggy was slow and maybe because I hadn't much ram, but, anyway, I was using it!
I begun using it seriously when my big Amiga hd died, it was my workstation, with servers, developing and everyday application, and so on...
I remember that I tried using a PPC OpenOffice beta binary, and it was painfully slow, thanks to the high speed of the standard IDE port. :-)
One day I managed to recreate an Amiga partition on the Linux devoted hd, and then I reinstalled Linux again, this time on a smaller partition, this time with Gnome.
I started programming Sonda on AmigaOS but soon, as the NVHServer was born, I developed a Linux version and continued on that...

When I bought a pc I quickly installed MDK8 and continued Sonda on it.
I found out that Linux has the same "hack feeling" as the Amiga had, but not only this, I became a true lover of the free software philosophy too!
Now, on the pc, I'm working exclusively on Linux, leaving the games to Win... :-)
