my linux memory is saying lie-nux out loud.

my first Linux laptop was a pentium 90

all I remember about installing Linux was that the sample sound played by the audio setup wizard was a recording of Linus torvalds pronouncing Linux correctly (my name is lie-nus torvalds and I Pronounce it Lin-uks)

also KDE 1.x was really fancy coming from CDE

if u Linux on the mac osx operating system you need Homebrew to replace all the old as gently caress libraries so you won't have to use a lovely old OpenSSL for example


Instead you can use the lovely new ooenssl

apple updates the system libraries when they update the whole OS (barring security fixes) and seem to only do major library updates when they do major OS releases. this is (mostly) a Good Thing.

one of the advantages homebrew has over macports is that it doesn't try to replace system libraries with newer versions or replace the system-provided python interpreter or whatever. if something you're installing with homebrew just has to use a newer version, it will install that newer version to /usr/local/lib (or bin etc) and only that specific package will get linked to it so it doesn't break the OS.
