Living in Mexico and Sweden at an advanced age. My first contact with computing was in the late 60's, programming on what was called a time-share system connected via a Telex terminal. I bought my first computer in 1981 and my favorite O.S. is an 8-bit multi-user, multi-tasking product called Microware OS-9. I still use it today.
I never liked Windows. My first Linux was Caldera and now I use different Linuxes on a variety of boxes and notebooks.
My first linux was Caldera. Salud. I had to go back from the LUG (Linux User Group install fest) to my apartment to get my monitor to enter the config files.
