Knoppix nostalgia

> Reply to KnoppixKnoppix nostalgiaOh man, fond memories. I remember being very interested in programming in middle/high school, but all the environments in our school computer lab had windows (this was in India), and I think at that time (maybe 2001-2003) I didn't even know there were other operating systems. Our school was participating in something called International Cyber Olympiad, and of course I gave the eligibility exam. They sent all students who passed a Knoppix Live CD to prepare for the actual competition. We did not have a PC at home until a couple of years later, but I used that CD in any PC I could find anywhere - the school computer lab, the school library computers, and my dad's office computers. It was my first experience with a Linux system (and I found it awesome). Also my first experience with gcc instead of borland c++.Syndicated to:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48736366
