When did you first start using Linux and why?
9 years ago I was having, for the first time, access to PC which was connected 24/h to net. In a moment I become NET-dependent (to be honest – I was spending much more time on IRCing and FTPing than studying :-). After short period I was having access to our faculty primary UnixWare server and from this time I'm persuade that for serious work the only suitable platform is Linux/Unix :-).
My first Linux distro wich I personaly installed was Slackware (first install – 8 years ago, now I don't remember exactly the version from wich I started up :-). After I was using RH, MDK.
How long have you been using the SMGL distribution? What piqued your interest in SMGL initially?
In the January 2002 I was looking for some linux/unix distro which fulfil my needs (I was looking for something which is source based, with some cool pkg.sys., something where I can in some easy way change the configure/build parameters, etc….). My first idea was freebsd but before changing linux for unix I was looking at http://www.distrowatch.com where I found SGL – and after installing it I was seeing that this is something for me :-)
What future do you personally see for SMGL?
For me the SMGL is the ideal distro for people which have some knowledge about linux and which "want the full power of Linux/PC". I use SMGL not only as desktop but also on 3 production machines (and in the 3 months we will build up an database cluster on which we will run SMGL :-)
So personally I'm very satisfied with SMGL and I really recommend this cool distro to everybody :> .
