Today marks 31 years as a Linux user.

And for those who will probably ask, no, I've never owned a piece of hardware running Windows or MacOS and, yes, I've always been able to get work done running only Linux.

I don't think I would be quite the nerd/geek that I am now if I hadn't found Linux all those years ago.

Thank you to everyone that works/volunteers on Linux and Open Source projects allowing me to do what I absolutely love to do.

@cmccullough also 31-ish. My first install was kernel 0.95 in 1992 after running a pirated copy of SCO Xenix for a while. I did experiment with OS/2 2.0 and had dos/windows 3.0 installed for a couple of months but by 1993 was only running Linux. Never looked back.

I have 0.95 with a copy of PCW magazine,
