    I like to tinker and learn how things work, and windows ME blue screened on my one time too many, so I picked up Linux in 1998.

    Nice. So you’re an old timer :)

    Redhat box from compusa, if anyone remembers that place.

    compusa does ring a bell. Suddenly reminds me of InfoMagic though. Here’s a photo found with a search engine.

    And that’s when my life changed; using the skills I taught myself i got well paying jobs as a sysadmin and then as software developer and now I’m an “infrastructure engineer” (I write terraform to manage cloud infrastructure and i do other sysadmin stuff ).

    Awesome.
