Most random op shop find.
So, in addition to that ASUS Terminator P4 I got, I also got an ASUS Terminator K7 featuring an AMD Athlon clocked at 1100MHz and 256MB of RAM.
I've had a lot of fun playing with this machine, and first off I installed Red Hat Linux 9 on it. This went off mostly without a hitch, although my USB mouse gave me issues (but switching to a PS/2 mouse solved them).
I love when installers have fun little quips. I miss when most software was fun in some way.
Installation went well, as did configuration once I figured out the mouse issue. The machine is partially deconstructed here because I needed to troubleshoot a Zip drive (I think it's just broken).
Next up that I wanted to try was OS/2 because the BIOS has an OS/2 compatibility setting and the chipset has OS/2 drivers.
I don't know if the hard drive I was using was on its way out or what though, but I just couldn't get OS/2 to install quickly at all. The first stage of copying files alone took about 24 hours. This is as far as I got before putting the project on hold.
What makes me think it was the hard drive was that it seemed to be behaving strangely and was rather noisy.
Here's a video on RHL 9, and I'll get a video on OS/2 out as soon as I continue the project :3
@rhel-official i didnt know you sold pizza
Red Hat Linux 5.2 Deluxe
Most of the weight is from the book of an installation guide packed in. 3 CDs and a boot floppy! This is oldschool Linux as a product on a shelf, with Netscape Navigator built in.

Sadly, the contract for @fordprfct has come to an end, and he has to find new work. (although 4 years for what was supposed to be a 1 year contract isn't bad - and they jumped through hoops to keep him when his former contracting company was rejected.) I've seen through his coworkers' reactions, he's VERY good at what he does. Jobhunting is much more unpleasant. He works remotely, and I'm hoping someone might know of an opening for him, so here's what he does. I can tell you, he picks up new software challenges like a cat going after tuna.

Dude… what the fuck is ZoronOS? If you’re gonna try linux at least try out a version that people actually use? Like idk red hat or Ubuntu or whatever, just don’t use the most obscure distro ever coded
Hey anon… guess what:
Then again, I guess it’s my fault for expecting competency out of someone who still recommends Red Hat after the stunt IBM pulled…
Amazing Computing March 1999
New versions of Linux available for the Amiga were examined in this issue, with a comment in one piece how “many in the Linux community are absolutely, completely, positively sure that Linux will knock Microsoft off the OS throne.” In the meantime, it was becoming more possible to watch QuickTime files on an Amiga, and Jim Collas had transferred from Gateway to Amiga Inc, with the editorial ready to see great promise in that. One column proclaimed “the next Amiga” was the (approvingly described) Sega Dreamcast, with that company’s sure-to-succeed turnaround having provided a shining example for Amiga Inc.
