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.

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.

It 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.

Red Hat 2.1 on 86Box with Socket 5 (1994)
Welcome to our first post with retrocomputing experiments on 86Box where we test old computers with old Linux distributions, as we said in that article. We’ve used 86Box as a program that allows us to perform this kind of experiment, since it provided a wide spectrum of old computer motherboards (and their components, such as graphics cards) to test.
You can download the Red Hat 2.1 ISO from the Internet Archive here, and you can obtain 86Box here.
We’ve chosen a Socket 5 (1994) motherboard as a testing ground for this experiment, and we’ve created a virtual machine, called
RedHat21.In the configuration stage, we’ve selected a combination of hardware that is known to work reliably with this version of Red Hat, such as 128 MB of RAM, an S3 86c801 graphics card, and a PS/2 mouse. Additionally, we’ve selected a Mitsumi CD-ROM reader for full compatibility. As for the hard drive, we’ve selected 1024 MB as the size.
After the configuration is complete, we’ve started the installation process. First, we had to extract the appropriate floppy images from the Red Hat 2.1 ISO file, since booting to it by itself is not possible. Those images are found in the
imagesdirectory inside the ISO file.We’ve started the virtual machine and inserted the floppy and the CD-ROM images as below. Please note that you’ll have to use the
boot0000.imgfile found underimages/1213.Afterwards, we’ve entered the BIOS setup and configured the hard drive parameters manually according to the specifications given.
When finished, we’ve saved the BIOS changes in order to make sure that Linux recognizes the hard disk.
By default, the virtual machine used the floppy disk as the first boot device to boot from, so we’ve seen the LILO bootloader screen as you can see here.
Press ENTER, and the boot process starts until it asks for the first RAMDISK. From there, right click on the floppy disk icon, and select the first ramdisk image, called ramdisk1.img. Press ENTER, and it will be loaded, which will then ask for the second one before the installation starts.
The Red Hat installation process went as follows:
There were some oddities in the installation process. First, a part that deals with swap partitions ends up failing, because the command was called incorrectly. More specifically, the
mkswapcommand was called with an extra parameter,10, which wasn’t supposed to exist according to the command syntax. Second, the X server configuration part doesn’t seem to be polished because of missing symbolic link of theXbinary to an X server when auto probing is started.As soon as the installation program informed us that it was finished, we’ve ejected the floppy disk and let the virtual computer reboot.
Since we didn’t want to configure networking, the sendmail part was the reason why the boot up process was stalled for one minute before we’re greeted with the login prompt.
We’ve logged in as root to verify that the X server starts correctly.
When we started the X server, it ran at a 640×480 resolution with an antique FVWM window manager. Alongside that, xterm, Arena, and the Red Hat control panel started together with the X server.
However, the X configuration part seemed to ignore our selection of the PS/2 mouse, and proceeded to use the Microsoft mouse protocol; therefore, the mouse cursor acted jerky when we attempted to move the mouse. We’ve changed the protocol to
ps/2frommicrosoftas seen below.To further enhance the X server, we’ve started xf86config, and set the parameters that matched the hardware that we’ve installed. We’ve deliberately selected a monitor configuration that is capable of resolutions bigger than 1024×768. Afterwards, we’ve edited the
/etc/XF86Configfile to make the X server use the 800×600 mode. Now, when we ran the X server, the GUI became more useful.Stay tuned for the next operating system experiment with 86Box!

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 is now live!
Red Hat has just released the tenth version of the enterprise-grade Linux distribution, called Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. While no announcement has been made yet, this version is now available to download through the customer portal on your Red Hat account with an appropriate subscription.
For those who are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux on modern servers, the performance has been improved so that your servers can process information more quickly than before. In addition to that, a newer Linux kernel release has been employed to add support for more desktops and servers, including those that use very recent hardware.
For those that are running this version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on desktops, the GNOME desktop has been updated to use Wayland rather than the more antique X11 server. Furthermore, more packages have been updated to their latest versions so that you can experience new features introduced in those versions.

I've just been handed my first major project which is to begin the process of investigating replacement of #oracle with #postgresql for the backup of our Salesforce data. This is turning into frustrating fun. Fun because we are ditching oracle, frustrating because we still have to use #RedHatLinux. The IT headshed has declared #AlmaLinux as a no go. Boo! #Linux

I'm downloading the full 3-CD Set of the #RedHatLinux 5.1 "manhattan" off archive.org to make a VM.
That was my first contact with #Linux back in 1998!

For now I'm keeping the CentOS Stream secure boot certs until I can get my own generated. I went back through the packages and just debranded without removing anything key and cert related. On the Rocky mattermost I was asking for help about generating kpatch and dup certs. A few people pointed me in the right direction namely Sherif Nagy, Nazunalika and Sokel. I appreciate their help a ton!

@thelinuxEXP Just 32 years old? Okay, now that makes me feel like a total nerd, because I’ve been using #Linux for about 25 years… Part-time for the first half (I started when #RedHatLinux was brand new, mostly dabbling and experimenting), and went to Linux full-time around 2012-ish. I’ve temporarily stepped away from Linux of late due to unavoidable logistical reasons, but I hope to move my personal computer back in the medium-term future, as I miss it too much.

@blakeyrat @Jaloop yeah I don’t disagree at all. The benefit of #linux is that it’s free, not that it’s great for a desktop environment.
I remember dabbling with old, paid versions of #redhatlinux - back in the late 90s or early 00s. Way different, not gonna say it’s better now for the average user.
