Linux-Mandrake 6.0 was actually my intro to Linux. Lots and lots of memories.
Still absolutely love this clunky aesthetic.
Interestingly, the old website is still up. Last post, 1999.

Powerful nostalgia vibes. My first Linux distro was Mandrake 7 or 7.1. Can't quite recall which one it was but I remember waiting hours for it to download after the boxed copy of RedHat I bought at Incredible Universe just would not cleanly install on my 486 at home.
I stuck with that distro till around 2005? I think the last version I had installed was Mandriva 2006.
