   @shellkr @kensanata @enkiv2 My first install on an Intel machine, and my first real distro that had a package manager, was Slackware '96. Before then it was the not quite a distro, just untar this tar.gz, Watchtower Linux on my Amiga back in 1994 or so. Those were magical days.
   
   I've talked about my journey at http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=1881 .

     > Fundamentally [Watchtower is] worse than Slackware. And that's saying a lot. Do yourself a huge favor and use Debian or Red Hat

     @kfist @kensanata @shellkr @enkiv2 If people are searching for "watchtower" I'd prefer they end up with information on a dead not-distro rather than propaganda for a cult, so let's keep boosting it. :-)

     @shellkr @clacke @enkiv2 @kensanata Watchtower was for 68k processors. I was using it on an Atari Falcon.

     Hallå Kitteh repeated this.
