my first linux was redhat 6.2 back in 1998 or so, back in the days when nerds bragged about their uptime and you had to actually consult compatibility charts and take a printout to Fry's to make sure you get the right ethernet card

I used slackware on an old 486 in 2000 because it only needed 4 mb of ram and we used it to share an internet connection. Actually gave it to another nerd so they could learn linux and routing as well. Kinda wish I still had it.

At work I'm like "hey we should transition these rhel 7 systems to 8 lickety split there are so many great new features" meanwhile the Fat Boomer Division down the hall insists that nobody upgrade the system that hosts their git repositories, which runs rhel 5

Even the expensive extended support package for that poo poo officially shut off 6 months ago lol
