Introduction
Posted: 1. Jun 2018, 23:11
Hello everyone!
As far as software-related, I would like to introduce myself hereby briefly.
Professionally, I am working as a software developer for hardware-near software, embedded systems, real-time signal processing, control systems, occasionally driver development for Unix and Linux.
Therefore, and otherwise, I know a lot about hardware of all kinds. Despite this enormous knowledge, I have just effortlessly managed to ruin my loyal working laser printer. The printouts now look as if the chimney sweep cleans his broom in the printer.
With recurrent interruptions, I've been a Linux user for a long time now. My first Linux distribution was LST Linux Support Team Erlangen Distribution V 1.7, August 1993, by Ralf Flaxa and Stefan Probst. This was followed by the distribution DLD - Deutsche Linux Distribution V1.1.1c, January 1994, by Dirk Haaga. Can anyone still remember these three people? Then I tried Slackware Linux 1.1.2, February 1994, Kernel 0.99.15 and Slackware Linux 1.2.0, March 1994, Kernel 1.0. Unfortunately, I was completely disappointed by all mentioned distributions.
Since I grew up mostly with Sun operating systems, I then continued with FreeBSD 2.0. Today, FreeBSD is still an important operating system for me.
Later, Linux got another chance.
When Salix64 Xfce 13.1 was released, I switched to Salix from Zenwalk Linux 7.0.
I like Salix OS very much. It offers easy installability, functional package management, a useful set of applications, and all the desktops needed which are also suitable for weak hardware. That's why I am quite satisfied with Salix. Thanks to the Salix team!
If you deal with Unix or Linux for a long time, I do not know how you feel, but it is reasonably difficult for me to keep my outdated knowledge, which also comes from different operating systems and distributions, cleanly separated from the present after such a long time, so that sometimes nonsense arises. (That was just an anticipated excuse for all the strange things that I could write here. )
I would be pleased to occasionally provide help to the forum and team if help is wanted.
With kind regards,
galmei
