Il y avait\nêtre une commission importante offerte au Vatican, et le pape voulait\nle seul meilleur artiste à le faire. L'évêque a dit à Giotto, peut-être le\npremier des peintres de la Renaissance, célèbre pour son habileté et sa tendance\nêtre un ermite, que le pape voulait utiliser ses services et\nlui a demandé un dessin qu'il pourrait envoyer à sa sainteté. À ceci\nGiotto prit une feuille de papier et un pinceau trempés dans de la peinture rouge, et avec\nune torsion de sa main a dessiné un cercle si parfait qu'il était une merveille\nvoir. Puis, avec un sourire, il dit à l'évêque: "Voilà ton dessin."\n\nComme s’il se moquait de lui, l’évêque répondit: "Est-ce la seule\ndessin que je dois avoir?

C'était\nLe rasoir d'Occam recommence. L'année dernière, j'ai rendu visite à un ami\nmien, le directeur d’un collège local, pour lui montrer certaines de mes\nexpériences avec Linux. J'ai apporté un ordinateur, un moniteur à écran plat, un\nclavier et une souris, et mettre en place un bureau temporaire dans son bureau. Pour\nannées, je me cherchais un meilleur système d’exploitation,\net éventuellement pour une utilisation à l'école. J'avais depuis longtemps abandonné Windows et\ns'était récemment concentré sur le système d'exploitation Apple. Il m'a encore laissé avec\nun sentiment d'impuissance, car les développeurs permettent uniquement aux utilisateurs de\nfaire un nombre limité de choses, et ceux seulement avec la permission.\n\nJe voulais quelque chose de beaucoup plus flexible. Lors de la recherche de différents\nréponses open source, je cherchais 1) la facilité d’utilisation et\nadministration, 2) disponibilité des applications et 3) soutien de la communauté\npour le dépannage et l'expansion. J'ai allumé la boîte, une ancienne\n(cinq ans) PC Dell que j'avais acheté pour presque rien. C'était un\nBeige sale de couleur, et il a fait beaucoup, bien, des bruits uniques.

Ce n'est pas toujours agréable à lire\nà propos de la sécurité, mais Journal Linux a de temps en temps réveillé mon attention.\nS'il vous plaît continuer le bon travail.\n\nAl Audet\nJe suis abonné\npour 18-20 ans, pas sûr.\nJ'aime ça, mais c'est en partie\nnostalgique pour moi aussi.\nMa mémoire préférée remonte au début des années 2000 lorsque j’ai utilisé un LJ\narticle pour mettre en œuvre une solution de sauvegarde à distance pour certains de nos satellites\nbureaux qui avaient des lecteurs de bandes défectueux. L'article a montré comment utiliser Samba\npour archiver les fichiers du site distant et les copier dans notre répertoire local\nserveur dans les premières heures du matin. Nous n'avions pas de budget pour acheter de l'équipement, et je\nétait capable de faire cela avec les vieux 486 à l'époque. Il y avait des solutions aux problèmes du monde réel et je ne pouvais pas en avoir assez à l'époque.\nMa première distribution a été Slackware en 1997.\n\nUn autre bon souvenir était en fait d’écrire un article sur Raspi-Sump dans\nl'édition 1996 de Embedded. C'était bon de contribuer après avoir bénéficié\ntoutes ces années. J'ai même eu des gens à me remercier pour le partage\nle programme. Il est toujours utilisé et maintenu sur GitHub sous la licence MIT.\nSalut, et continuez votre bon travail.\n\nMoisés Herná Duarte\nJe suis abonné depuis 20 ans.\nJe lisais Journal Linux parce que quand j'ai commencé à utiliser Linux,\nvotre magazine était le meilleur. Et c'est toujours.\nUn de mes favoris LJ souvenirs est quand vous avez publié l'article sur\nconstruire un cluster en utilisant le Beowulf How To. Nous avons gagné la quatrième place en\nConcours national proposant ce cluster vers 2002.\nLa première distribution que j'ai utilisée était Slackware, installée à partir de disquettes.\net partager un disque dur de 200 Mo avec Windows.\nMerci beaucoup de me laisser faire partie de votre histoire.\n\n\nHugo Ortega Hernandez\nJe suis abonné depuis environ sept ans.\nJ'aime Linux et moi\nJ'adore apprendre.\nPeut-être le plus\ndes souvenirs précieux sont ces moments où j'ai appris quelque chose de nouveau sur un sujet que je\nsavait déjà bien. L’exemple le plus récent est l’article "Comprendre\nBash: Éléments de la programmation "dans le numéro d'octobre 2018.\nde connaissances approfondies est le carburant qui me permet de continuer à utiliser Linux au travail et à la maison.\nLa première distribution a été Red Hat en 1998.\n\ndebansu saha\n\nJe suis abonné depuis 2001 (ou plus tôt).\nJournal Linux apporte des articles soigneusement sélectionnés de bons auteurs sur\nsujets d'importance et d'intérêt chaque mois. Près de 80% du contenu\nde chaque numéro est de mon intérêt-c'est la raison principale pour laquelle je\nabonnez-vous.\nDans un de mes anciens lieux de travail, qui était une organisation gérée par l'État à Kolkata,\nInde, nous utilisions des logiciels libres\nsolutions tout autour. Il était nécessaire d'introduire une bibliothèque\nlogiciel de gestion pour notre bibliothèque. LJ a fait un article sur Koha autour de cette\ntemps. Nous l'avons adopté et cela a été un grand succès.\n\nS'il vous plaît continuer le bon travail. LJ fait partie de\nla vie. C'était dommage de le manquer pendant quelques mois.\n\nLou Lipnickey\n\nJe suis abonné depuis 20 ans pour\nrester à jour et apprendre de nouvelles choses avec Linux et les technologies associées.\nLa mémoire préférée est la colonne "Ils l'ont dit" et la fin de l'année de Doc Searls\npièce sur l'élection de 2016.\nMa première distribution a été Red Hat (envoi à Fedora).\n\nUne pensée: les événements récents montrent que l’Amérique a besoin de LIRE PLUS, que ce soit\nses Journal Linux,\nScientifique américain ou la le journal Wall Street. Education de base avec un\nl'accent sur la lecture est la\nexcellent facilitateur et boussole.\n\nStefano Canepa\nJe ne me souviens plus combien de temps je me suis abonné – c’est votre deuxième ou\ntroisième année. Je n'avais aucun crédit\ncarte et j’envoyais des chèques en dollars d’Italie par la poste. C'était un\nopération très pénible d'aller à la banque pour obtenir le chèque, allez à la poste\nbureau, envoyez le chèque et attendez la notification que vous l'avez reçu.\nJe suis un utilisateur Linux, ingénieur logiciel, développeur et logiciel libre\nfanatique.\nJ'ai trop de souvenirs. C'était vraiment un plaisir de recevoir\nma copie dans le post. La plupart du temps, il était en mauvais état, mais je lisais\nil couvre pour couvrir le jour où il est arrivé. Maintenant, ce n'est pas la même chose, même si je continue\nadore lire LJ.\nMa première distribution était Slackware chargée à partir de la disquette téléchargée sur mon ordinateur.\nuniversité, parce que mon modem était\ntrop lent.\n\n\nMichael Yam\n\nJe suis abonné depuis environ 10 ans. je\ns'abonner à Journal Linux parce que j'aime les périodiques mensuels qui sont\nbien édité et servir de guide pour l'avenir. Bien sûr, je peux chercher\ndes informations aléatoires sur Internet, et qui sont utiles à sa manière. Mais\nJ'ai également vu disparaître mes publications préférées, notamment PC\nLa semaine, PC\nMagazine, DDJ et SMOKINGet je suis content Linux\nJournal est toujours là.\nJ'ai aussi lu Journal Linux pour le travail. Ma devise est: J'utilise Linux au travail, Mac\nà la maison, et Windows seulement quand il le faut.\nMa première distribution était Sony pour Linux sur PlayStation 2. Hé, n'est-ce pas?\nEnvie de mélanger plaisir avec le travail?\n\n\nJose\nJe suis abonné depuis deux ans maintenant et auparavant j'étais abonné\nd'autres magazines, mais ils sont morts … RIP.\nMa première distribution a été SUSE, puis Debian, mais finalement\nsuis dans Linux Mint. Je trouve ça assez confortable. J'ai commencé quand tu es encore\ndémarraient à partir de disques externes de 1,4 Mo. Il m'a fallu au moins deux heures pour obtenir un\ndémarrage entièrement fonctionnel! C'est si facile maintenant, avec autant d'options pour sélectionner correctement\navant pour tout fonctionne la première fois.\nMon souvenir préféré: j'aime SSH, puis je pense avoir découvert l'option mosh via\nvotre magazine, mais je ne suis pas sûr, c’est un peu extra mais vraiment sympa. je\naimer cette sensation quand vous venez de taper un peu de texte, vous obtenez que\nPuissance. Oui, j'ai tendance à abuser de l'utilisateur root, mais j'essaie de l'arrêter.\n\nMarcelo Sá\nJe suis abonné depuis 2009,\nparce que j'aime le\narticles beaucoup et se sentir comme un Journal Linux membre de la communauté.\nMon préféré LJ la mémoire était la notification, en 2017, qu'il n'était pas\nla fin de LJ.\nSlackware 3.5 a été ma première distribution en juillet 1998.\n\nAlexander Bialowas\n\nJe suis abonné depuis le numéro 37, et je pense que mon premier était le numéro 32. J'étais\nEnchanté. Je me suis abonné parce qu'en plus LWN, c’était ici le seul\nmagazine international pour les utilisateurs de Linux.\nMa première distribution pour de l'argent était S.u.S.E, mais je pense qu'en 1993, c'était Slackware.\n\nJ'ai aimé Linux depuis le début. D'abord j'étais un Windows\nProgrammeur, mais après cette longue période sous Windows, il a été\néclairant pour travailler avec Linux. Au début, je travaillais uniquement sur l'interface de commande,\navec beaucoup de lecture de pages de manuel. Sur mon travail, faire des choses dans\nContrôle automatique, travailler avec Linux a été un plaisir.\nJ'utilisais Linux même comme ordinateur de bureau depuis le tout début, même\nquand ce n'était pas commun à cette époque.\nBien dans toutes mes années de travail avec Linux et Journal Linux, ceux-ci sont\ndeux vieux amis à venir avec les temps & Mash, c'est la cohérence!\nIl y a beaucoup d'histoires intéressantes, mais aussi simple que cela, je\nutilisez-le tous les jours pendant plusieurs années.\n\nProfesseur Processeur\nJ'ai été un lecteur assidu de Journal Linux depuis environ 1996 et un\nabonné depuis 2005. Une fois que le salon a commencé à se remplir avec le\nmagazines sur papier, j'étais tellement heureux que LJ est sorti avec le numérique\nédition par abonnement, car c'était un grand soulagement libérant de l'espace si nécessaire\npour mes ordinateurs.\n\nS'il n'y avait pas un collègue dans une compagnie d'assurance où j'ai travaillé\nqui m'a présenté et a continué à percer les avantages de Linux retour\ndans les années 1990 et a insisté pour que je laisse tomber la "pilule rouge", je\nne pense pas que j'aurais eu une telle connaissance de l'informatique et\nprogrammation (merci Joe).\n\nEn revanche, j’ai toujours été un utilisateur Microsoft depuis DOS 3.1, à notre époque.\na dû charger le système d’exploitation à partir de disquettes à la fin des années 1980. À l'époque avec un\n640 Ko fonctionnant au-dessus de mon matériel 8086/88, je pensais être sur\nsommet du monde après la migration d’un processeur Atari 520 68K Motorola.\nCependant, après avoir été introduit à Linux dans les années 1990 et avoir installé Red Hat\nLinux 5.0 et l’acquisition de deux stations de travail Sun Sparc "RISC", mon esprit était\nsoufflé comme le trou de lapin est apparu comme une fosse sans fond.\n\nJe suis abonné à Journal Linuxparce que depuis que j'ai été introduit\nà LJ\nil y a environ 23 ans, c'est la seule publication, IMO, qui est restée vraie\nau mouvement du logiciel libre et open source qui éclaire leurs lecteurs\nde mois en mois avec de nouvelles informations et des possibilités infinies de ce que l’on\npeut atteindre et exploiter sans stagnation logicielle propriétaire et\nobstacles financiers. Rêvez-le, téléchargez-le, construisez-le.\n\nJ'ai personnellement fourni aux clients des solutions à leurs problèmes.\nbesoins des entreprises, des articles et des idées soumis à travers la publication,\net à ce jour, je cherche voracement de mois en mois de nouvelles idées et\ninformation. Le premier de chaque mois, je vérifie avec empressement mon courrier électronique et le\nLJ site pour un nouveau numéro comme un enfant qui attend l’ouverture d’un magasin de jouets.\n\nEn outre, pour moi, ce fut un jour très triste quand LJ a annoncé qu'ils ne seraient pas\nplus imprimer leur publication. Tous mes pairs ont pensé que quelqu'un\nétait décédé, et le garçon en avait l’impression après toutes ces années. Mais\nque tout a changé après un mois ou deux quand ils ont riposté sur les presses.\nThey were back and as strong as ever. To me, that was the greatest moment\ndans LJ history, and as long as you guys are around, you'll have a\nloyal subscriber, and I hope that LJ will be around for generations to come.\n\nI can't thank you guys enough for the support and the many projects I\nhave completed with the assistance and reading of LJ. One of my favorites is\nthe June 2013 issue's "Prospecting for Ones and Zeros".\nForget about pouring gasoline on fire, this was the nuke!\nExcellent work guys, don't stop!\n\n\nJack Wilson\nI've been a subscriber since around issue #4.\nIt keeps me informed on\nwhat the cool kids are up to.\nMy favorite LJ memory is attending a mini-Linux\nconference, which was embedded into a UNIX Conference in Washington DC. Cette\nis where I found out about Linux Journal and subscribed as soon as I got\nmaison.\nMy first distro: I was playing around with Minix when I first saw Linus' post about Linux 0.12. My first real\ndistribution was Slackware.\n\nNorman H. Azadian\nI've been a subscriber since Day One. My first distro was a stack of\nfloppies we downloaded from somewhere, way before 1.0. My first\ncommercial distro was Red Hat.\n\n\nBob Johnson\nI began subscribing March 12, 1996, according to my accounting program. je\nwire-wrapped my own 6800 computer in high school in 1978, wrote LISP and\nFortran programs on punch cards for a Cyber mainframe at USC, worked as\nan intern running a company's PDP-11/70 (booted with paper tape) during\nthe summers, and owned TRS-80 and Commodore computers and every\ngeneration of PC since the original 8088. I was first introduced to UNIX\nand USENET on an NCR Tower (68020-based) owned by a former employer, and\nlater via Sun and SGI workstations. By 1996, I was already transitioning\nfrom Windows to Linux, as I was always a low-level guy at heart (embedded\nhardware/software engineer), and Microsoft had gone too closed. Plus,\nI saw the writing on the wall by that time with USENET having morphed\ninto the internet and TCP/IP and Open Systems becoming the future, not\nNETBIOS and proprietary applications.\n\nMy first Linux OS experimentation was dual-booting to Slackware back\nsomewhere in the mid-90s. I worked with Debian for a while, and by 2000,\nmy primary boot OS was Red Hat, and I was running Windows in a VMware VM.\nIn 2003, I moved to Gentoo (back when it had to be brought up from a\nstage one install), and I've been using Gentoo ever since. I just\nre-compiled over a dozen or so workstation upgrades over the years.\nI've also booted a number of embedded Linux distributions over the\nyears, cross-compiled on my Gentoo workstation. The only remnants I have\nof Windows are VM snapshots of my old systems (all the way back to my\nfirst DOS PC and up to Windows 2000). Thanks to Linux and the fine\nopen-source emulators, I even have archives of all my old TRS-80 and\nCommodore VIC-20 and C64 programs, spreadsheets and text documents\nthat I wrote in college nearly 40 years ago. I can still run those\napplications and read those files today, thanks to the hard work of\nLinux developers.\n\nI forget when I first saw Linux Journal on the local magazine rack.\nIt was back in the later days of Computer Shopper et BYTE!\nMagazine.\nI had already been running Linux for a while by that point, but was\nsurprised to find it had a fan base large enough to justify a magazine.\nI subscribed instantly of course, and I have maintained that subscription\nfor the last 23 years, through the digital transition and the latest\nreorganization. I don't have a favorite LJ memory; I like all of it.\nZack Brown's "diff -u" is one I never miss to keep up with what's going\non with the kernel, along with Doc Searls' opinions (now editorials)\non the continuing evolution of Open Source. The most valuable aspect of\nLinux Journal for me is that it covers the wide gamut of activities that\nLinux now encompasses, from small embedded IoT systems to smartphones to\ncloud-based containers to the world's fastest supercomputers. J'ai été\nusing UNIX shells for three decades, but I still find useful pointers in\nDave Taylor's articles. Most of my coding is in C/C++, but I like\nkeeping up with what's happening on the language front as well. I also\nenjoy finding articles about programs I've never heard of before,\nparticularly science and math applications that I never realized were\nalready waiting for me to simply "emerge" onto my Gentoo system. le\nbreadth of the Linux ecosystem these days is truly fantastic.\nAnyway, congratulations on 25 years, and keep up the good work!\n\n\nJeff Bakst\n\nI've been a subscriber for 5+ years.\nMy first distro was Slackware and\nbuilding the kernel from scratch on the weekends.\n\nHarjit S Mavi\n\nI've subscribed since 2007. I subscribed\nwhile I was working at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Later I moved\nto Canada and resumed membership.\nI subscribe because I was a Linux system\nadministrator most of my professional life.\nMy favorite memory was When I received my first copy of Linux\njournal in Melbourne, Australia.\nI cannot recall my first distro.\n\nKeith Harasyn\n\nI've been a Linux Journal subscriber since\nabout 2011. I really love the articles, especially the trouble-shooting\nstories Kyle Rankin writes. I also enjoy Doc Searls exploring the new\nfrontier of the digital era. I still have copies the paper magazine\nthat I periodically skim through and find an interesting piece of free\nsoftware to try or idea to test. The new digital copy is full of useful\ninformation—I usually don't even get through the whole issue before the\nnext one comes out, so the past issue ISO offer to subscribers was much\napprécié. Keep up the good work.\nI included a pic of a family trip to Yellowstone in 2018 that my wife took\n(two of my three sons are in the pic—I'm on the right).\nPS. I kept a trip journal on my Acer – Aspire One Ubuntu machine (runs\ngreat),\nwhich replaced an awful Windows 7 Starter OS.\n\n\nNicola De Filippo\nThis January is my ten-year anniversary as a subscriber.\nI subscribe to get news about kernel and\nuser/developer topics.\nI always\nread the kernel article "diff -u" first.\nMy first distro was\nSlackware, and it was 1995, but I don't remember the version.\nI love Linux on the desktop and mobile (I'm a Sailfish OS user).\n\nTomas Kuchta\nI subscribed when LJ commencé\nto offer a digital subscription in 2005 or 2006-ish, I think.\nI subscribe for three principle reasons,\neach equally important: 1. Fantastic and in-depth technical articles. 2\nLJ est allé\ndigital, so I could get it on time and at reasonable cost. 3. I wanted to\nsupport this fantastic free software resource.\nMy favorite thing about LJ was when I could subscribe to the digital\nedition,\nand all the fantastic enterprise Linux infrastructure and web/dev technical\narticles.\nMy first distro was Suse Linux 5.x or 6.0 in 1998.\nI used SunOs/Solaris before.\nI am an engineer, developer, sysadmin and open source advocate. ma\ninterests are in IC design and test, solving engineering problems,\nautomation, development, data processing, analysis and visualization, web\ntechnologies and devops.\nI use Linux exclusively—both personally and for work since it displaced\nUNIX in engineering and scientific computing in late 1990s. I cannot\nimagine the world without UNIX/Linux/GNU, free software giants like Richard\nStallman, Linus Torvalds and countless others inspiring us and contributing\nto free software and computing. Climbing on their shoulders, we enjoy\nfree computing, learning and contributing to a better and sustainable future.\nIf I could have my LJ wish come true—please use thicker fonts in your\nPDFs. It it way too thin (low contrast) to read, even magnified on mobile\nand laptop screens.\n\nDavid Rapp\nI am a gray beard. I graduated college in 1967 with a degree in Mechanical\nEngineering. My formal introduction to computers was when I took a Fortran\nIV programming class in college in 1965. I have been using Linux since\nthe days when one had to compile the individual packages and put the\npieces all together. My first distro was SuSE Linux not long after it\nappeared. I switched to Mandrake in its early years and have stuck with\nit through its many iterations over the years and am typing this on a\nToshiba laptop running Mageia 6. Several people have influenced me over\nthe years, including, more than any other, Richard M. Stallman. Ayant\ngotten into computers and programming in the 1960s, software freedom was\nthe norm. Over the years, I observed the possessive, closed-source model\ntakeover led most prominently by Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, and I found\nit infuriating. Linux's arrival on the scene was like a drink of cool,\nclear water after being surrounded by stagnant, polluted, brackish water\nfor years. These days my local network includes about 8–12 computers\nat any given time with only one not running Linux—my AutoCAD box\nrunning Windows 7 Pro. It isn't connected to the internet. I have been a\nLinux Journal subscriber off and on since it was in its infancy,\nand I read each issue cover to cover upon arrival. Keep up the good fight.\n\nIra Chayut\nI've been a subscriber since issue #1.\nMy favorite LJ memory is sharing my DirB shell\noutil.\nBefore Linux, I used UNIX,\nstarting with Version 7.\n\n\nJohn Wotkun\nI have been a subscriber to LJ since 1994. I remember seeing the cover\nof issue #4, and I still have a copy of #13 here.\nI think my first useful distro was Yggdrasil something, on floppies,\nkernel 1.x.something. I still have my Yggdrasil "The Linux Bible, The\nGNU Testament".\nI started working with computers as an "instrument technician" in a huge\nintegrated steel mill on Lake Michigan. DEC PDPs and VAXes running RSX\nand VMS, then we added some SUN sparcs running SUNos 4.something, then\non to Solaris. Research modelers started with SGI workstations and IRIX.\nI was more hardware than software, but system administration became\nnecessary to know. I'm not a programmer, but I can compile a "Hello\nWorld" in C, and I learned enough shell programming to get by.\nWhen MS DOS/Windows started to creep in, I could not understand the\n"Just reboot the computer" mentality to fix things.\nWith our Vaxes and Suns, rebooting was not a way to fix anything.\n\nI was familiar with GNU software from the VMS and SUNos world. Then, Linux\nallowed me to experiment on old 386 computers, without disrupting mill\nactivity.\nI built a dial-in PPP call-back remote access system on an old AST\n486-100Mhz PC with a few modems—with an Apache web server and Samba\nfile and print sharing, long before the office "Windows" world even knew\nwhat to do with that.\n\nMore recently, we snuck in Red Hat and CentOS servers running Oracle and\nMySQL, running almost unnoticed in the background, dutifully gathering\nand storing process, environmental and photo data with database servers\nrunning over 5 years without being rebooted—unheard of, and not believed\nby the "Windows" community.\n\nI'm not in the mills anymore, but I'm still hacking away with Linux. je\nmust say, there are still times when I get hours into a project, run\ninto a wall, and people say, "It's simple, just load xyz module and just\ncompile blah from somewhere." Or, "why are you doing that, you should do\nthis…"\nThen I go do something else for a while.\nKeep up the good work, Linux Journal.\n\nBryan Peterson\nI've been a subscriber since 2009 (I think).\nReason: I originally subscribed to increase my understanding of Linux. je\ncontinue to subscribe to keep up with the changes in open-source software.\nMemories: my event horizon is roughly two weeks now—I don't have any\nsignificant memories of Linux Journal other than having read a lot of\narticles over the years.\nOriginal distribution: Slackware Professional Linux version 2.3, first\ninstalled in 1996.\n\nPiotr\n\nI've been an LJ subscriber since…I don't remember…somewhere between 2012 and\n2014.\nI use Linux, like it, and I like to find news and useful info about it, so\nI'm a subscriber.\nWhen I first started, my interest was in embedded Linux, and I found my first\nuseful information in LJ.\nMy first distro was Slackware (I still like it), and I sometimes\nthink about coming back to it.\nI'm glad you are still working on LJ.\n\n\nPer Asbjørn Jensen\nI have had an electronic subscription\nà Linux Journal for the last eight years and was regular reader for even longer. je\ninstalled my first Linux (Red Hat 5.3) distribution more than 20 years\nago, and I've been a fan ever since. Today both my private and professional\nOSes\nare Linux (Ubuntu), and I have not had a Windows partition for years.\nLJ est un\ngreat way to expand my Linux world and support the community.\nMy favorite LJ "story" was when NSA classified me because I read\nLJ et\nlearned about Tor and Tails.\n\nDavid\nI've not been a subscriber from the beginning,\nbut I remember buying and reading your magazine—a short-lived Spanish\nedition—about the date of the 2.0.34 kernel.\nI subscribe because it's a good magazine and to express\ngratitude, perhaps.\nMy favorite LJ memory is reading about a wonderful operating\nsystem that came with a free 32-bit C compiler, among a lot of other great\ntools for creating things with a computer, and introducing me to\ntechnologies like FPGAs and microcontrollers (Arduino), which helped me in\nbecoming an electronic engineer. So thanks for that.\nI think my first distro was Slackware, which was famous then.\n\nNelson (Shih-Wei) Huang\nI've subscribed more than 10 years.\nDuring my studies of Red Hat Linux, I needed new knowledge.\nI like the focus on privacy.\nMy first distro was Mandriva 1998.\n\nJames Powell\nI've been a subscriber for 18 years. For some reason a\nprint subscription to the UK was very reasonably priced.\nI subscribe for the technical articles that are\naccessible\nMy favorite memory was discovering it had "came back from the\ndead"!\nFirst distro was Red Hat 4.2.\n\nDr. Mícheá Foghlú\n\nThanks for continuing to produce a fabulous magazine.\nI have the first\nedition (March 1994)!\nIt's the best way to get\ndiverse opinions about Linux, and it's really practical.\nMy favorite memory is getting my first edition—I really\nwanted to learn more about Linux.\nFirst distro was SLS Software Landing\nSystem, 1992. My favourite distro has been Debian for most of the time\nsince, but I've used and love Ubuntu, SuSE, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and\nCentOS.\n\nI published a Blog\nposter of my Linux journey when I joined Red Hat in 2014,\nfamously Linux supporters (but I work for Google now, also big Linux\nsupporters).\n\n\nDavid Poole\nI've subscribed\nprobably 20+ years? je\nstarted using Linux regularly ~1996 and found Linux Journal on the shelf at\nBarnes & Noble. I immediately subscribed.\nI subscribe to keep up to date and learn new\ncorners of Linux and other OSS.\nMy favorite LJ memory is putting my feet up, reading the paper\ncopy cover to cover with a good beverage.\nFirst distro was 3.5" floppies downloaded\nfrom FTP. First CDROM distro was Slackware from Walnut Creek CDROM. Then\nlater I discovered the awesomeness of Red Hat (version 4 I think?)\n\nThank you so much for keeping LJ up and running. I deeply appreciate all\nyour work.\n\nFinn Bo Jørgense\nI've subscribed since July 1994 (year 1, issue 3), but I have the two first issues as\nbien. I had an interruption along the way back when international\npayments were complicated.\nI subscribe to keep up and to support the free software spirit.\nMy favorite LJ memory is the first pioneering years when things moved almost every day.\nMy first distro was Yggdrasil, fall 1993, kernel 0.99.13. Still have the CD, the boot floppy\nand the manual!\n\nYAO Fei\n\nI have been a subscriber for 20 years (from 1998).\nI am the one of the very early fans and users of Linux in China.\nMy favorite issue is the April 2005 one, for the small satellite application, as\nI am a satellite software engineer.\nThe first distribution I ever used was a Caldera Network Desktop V1.0, then\nc'était\nSlackware.\nHere is my collection of LJ magazines:\n\nJose Luis Martinez\nI've subscribed\nmost of the last 20\nyears, but I remember picking up paper copies in Mexico City and Kuala\nLumpur around 23–24 years ago.\nI like the content and the fact\nthat you have remained quite technically minded. Some things go over the\ntop of my head, but that is a good thing in my book.\nMy favorite LJ memory receiving my first DVD with all the\npast issues. It was a relief to be able to free all that space!\nI think my first distro was Slackware\ndistributed in 25 3.5 inch floppy disks. Horrific!\n\n\nManuel Chavez\nI've subscribed since Feb 2012.\nI like to keep up to date with\nLinux and FOSS.\nNot really sure of my favorite memory. I've read a lot of good\narticles throughout the years.\nFedora was my first distro\naround 2003, but shortly after, I switched to Ubuntu and I've stayed with\nDebian for some years now.\n\nMartin\nI would say I've subscribed for roughly 25\nannées. I have somewhere a copy of LJ non. 1.\nI've loved it since the beginning,\nand I don't wont to miss any issues.\nMy favorite memory is difficult to say, but…when you\nstarted again after the stop.\nIf I remember well, my first distro was\nSlackware distributed on floppy disk.\n\nRichard Ibbotson\nI've subscribed since about 1995, I think.\nIt's a good read. Always was.\nMy favorite memory is meeting LJ people at Linux Expos and Linux events in places like New\nYork/San Francisco and many other places around the states.\nMy first distro was Debian followed by Red Hat back in 1993.\n\nI helped start the GNU/Linux kernel at Manchester University by\njoining in to start the Manchester Linux User's\nGroupe.\n\nSome time later I started the Sheffield Linux User's Group\nmyself.\n\nFor the past twenty years I have written for GNU/Linux magazines. je\nhave been subscribed to the Linux Journal since the early days, but had a\nbreak in the middle. I am still reading Linux Journal. An example of\nmy photographs and written work is here.\n\nI am about to go to Fosdem in Brussels. I wrote the original conference\nsignaler pour Linux Magazine about Fosdem many years ago.\n\n\nMarcelo Rezende Módolo\nI believe my subscription must be more than 10 years old.\nIn addition to being passionate about Linux, I found the content very good.\nThere were memories, I cannot remember a specific one, but I guarantee that\nle retour de LJ after its almost end, I will not forget!\nHere in Brazil there was a distribution called Kurumim! That was my first\ndistro.\n\nSander Cox\nI started reading occasionally in 2006–2007 (when I was visiting the US, I\nused to pick one up), and then I decided to get a subscription sometime in\n2008, I\nthink, as there was no good Linux magazine at the time at newsstands in the\nNetherlands, so I've been subscribed now for 10+ years!\n\nI like to keep up to speed with latest Linux technologies and ideas about\nLinux-based ideas—that's why I kept my subscription running. Comme un\nprogrammer by trade, I'm always most interested in programming-related Linux\nstories.\n\nNo particular memory about Linux Journal pops to mind, although\nI liked when it was a print issue. Spending all day behind\ncomputer screens, I don't really like to read magazines on it too. je n'ai pas\nswitched to e-readers or tablets for magazines. It's just not the\nsame experience. So I guess I read less articles now that it's digital.\n\nMy first Linux distribution was SUSE Linux back in 1998–1999, I guess.\nIt was packed in a box with cds. I used to buy a couple of those boxes before I got\na stable internet connection, where it was ok to just download it. I switched\nto debian around 2002 or 2003, and I've primarily used Debian/Ubuntu since but also\nan occasional CentOS.\n\nLuis Sismeiro\nFirst of all, thank you for bringing Linux\nJournal back to life. It's my only magazine subscription, and I really enjoy\nreading it cover to cover, not real covers but digital ones now.\n\nI think my LJ subscription started about 1997 or 1998, I'm not sure. je\nstarted reading the magazines in 1996, lent from the person who introduced\nme to Linux and a very dear friend that passed away some years ago. Comme un\nfinal graduation project in 2001, we made an implementation of IP-Over-SCSI\nand the SourceForge page still exists here.\nIt was a really exciting project, and we made a deep dive into the Linux\nkernel, and somehow we managed to make it work. This was a test\nimplementation suggested by our professor Hans du Buf at Algarve's\nUniversity (Portugal) to see if it was possible to use the SCSI interface\nin Beowulf Linux clusters for parallel processing instead of the more\nexpensive Myrinet fast network cards sold at the time. Good times.\n\nAnother good story was when a Linux conference was held at Algarve's\nUniversity in 1999, and I had the opportunity to meet Alan Cox in person\nwith his characteristic red fedora hat on top of his head. My friend\nasked Alan for an autograph, and Alan was not expecting to sign my friend's\nlaptop—it was really memorable to see his face.\n\nMy first distribution was Slackware with Linux kernel 2.0. I believe at the\ntime it was the first Linux distribution with kernel 2.0. I remember really\nwell downloading the 1.44 MB floppy disk images using a 28.8 kbps modem. Il\ntook a really long time to download each one and then save the image to the\nfloppy disk. If we were lucky, we wouldn't have any problems with the floppy\ndisk, but many times we needed to save a new image in the middle of the Linux\ninstallation, and since I read the partition instructions really well\nfor the Linux install, I never had a problems and lost information of my\nWindows partition. I had a good old 486DX33 laptop with 4 MB of RAM and 100 MB of\ndisk—a really top-of-the-line computer that managed to work with Linux and\nsurvived my experiences with it.\n\nIt's also important to say that Linux and UNIX was my career choice when I\nstarted working. Besides having my home Linux servers and workstations, I\nhad some experience with administration of the University Vision Lab\nLinux and SGI workstations (remember\nthose?), and it was really something that I enjoyed doing. Merci de Linux\nJournal for educating me in all Linux aspects and everybody who helped and\ninspired me all these years.\n\nAnd this is it for now. I have a lot more Linux related stories but this\nare the ones I decided to share with Linux Journal. In 25 years I will\nshare more. 🙂\n\n\nJayson Helseth\nI have been a subscriber for about six years,\nand a developer for more than ten years. I subscribed to Linux\nJournal parce qu'il\nwas my favorite of the Linux publications that existed. Even though they\nsay you should never judge a book by its cover, I was drawn to the covers\nde Linux Journal publications. My favorite article so far is when Kyle\nRankin wrote about using the Odroid for a home NAS solution. The first\ndistribution that I used was Mandrake 9.x. I received a copy from a friend,\nand later decided to buy it with the Mandrake book as a guide.\n\n\nPeter Cook\n\nI've been a subscriber for more than ten years to keep up with the latest\nLinux info.\nFavorite memory was when LJ,/em> was rescued by PIA!\nFirst distro was Red Hat Linux.\n\nRon Singh\n\nI've been a subscriber for two years.\nI subscribed because LJ covered software and hardware. It has had a long tenure\n  in Linux, and it is also quite inspiring.\nMy favoriate memories are limited, but email conversations with LJ staff have\n  been very friendly and informative.\nMy first distro was Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity DT), and I distro-hopped through at\nleast 40 before ending up with Mint Xfce and Cinnamon DTs.\n\nMy background with computing is fairly long (since '79), what with mucking\nabout in CP/M, AppleDOS, DOS and Windows. Hardware being analog and digital\nfrom 6800/6502/Z80 in the distant past to current ARM devices and the like.\n\nI made the foray into Linux in late 2016 as a reaction to Windows 10's\nquirks and telemetry.\nMy initial experience with Ubuntu 16.04 was satisfying in that I felt safe and\nhad no odd OS behaviors.\nAs my experience grew after a fairly intense distro-hopping period, I\nwondered why I waited so long to make the move to Linux.\n\n\nLJ has been instrumental in my Linux journey, with well-written and\nresearched articles and thoughtful opinion pieces—a real treat.\n\nThese days, I am all about spreading the word to my community (500K people),\nin retirement homes, high schools, cop shops and the like. It seems to be\nworking, albeit slowly. Next stop, flyers at cinemas!\nMy evangelism requires very little monetary outlay, mostly time to visit\nvenues to get some flyers posted and handed out. It seems like that most\nvisceral of media, paper, has become something of a curiosity to the young\n'uns, it gives them pause, looks like.\nIf anyone has any ideas of other venues to approach, I am all ears, I am in\nWaterloo, Ontario, Canada.\nHopefully my pic does not make anyone cry:-(\n\n\nPeter van der Burg\n\nI'm a father of five now adult children. I'm a New\nZealander residing in Melbourne, Victoria (Aus). My early training was in\nradio electronics, where I soon gained an interest in microcomputers\n(ZX81!). This eventually led to me branching into UNIX Systems\nAdministration and then ICT Management. I now freelance as an ICT Project\nManager, and I develop interesting solutions on the Raspberry Pi and ESP8266\nhardware using Python and MicroPython. My Linux distribution of choice is\ncurrently the no-frills Debian.\n\nI like subscribing to this particular Linux magazine (for more than 20 years\nnow) for its high-quality journalism. Although so much is available freely\nthrough private websites, etc., this magazine offers curated content that\ntakes me into realms I may not otherwise go. Good brain food!\n\nMy all-time best application of Linux came from an obscure place. In 2007 and\n2008, I went to Ethiopia with Habitat for Humanity to build mud houses. Quand je\nwas asked a year later to participate in an exhibition showcasing my\nexperience, presenting a few dozen photos wouldn't do it justice. Alors\nthinking creatively, it went from "what if each photo frame in the\ngallery was an album slideshow?" to what ultimately became a 24-screen\nvideo wall that ran entirely off Linux. The concept remained, that each\nscreen ran its own slideshow, but it was enhanced so all slideshows ran photos\nfrom a set theme for a period of a few minutes.\n\nThis is where the power of Linux and particularly X Windows steps in. It\nencapsulates almost everything I love about Linux over any other OS. le\ngranularity of control over the hardware, wide hardware support, software\nthat spans generations of hardware and extensive and powerful networking\ncapability.\n\nEach column of four screens was driven by a PC with two dual-head videocards,\nwith all six PCs being served images from a Linux file server. The server ran\n24 processes, each serving photos to its respective screen. The result was\nmesmerising!\nThrough the extensive control set of X11 and VESA commands, I could even\npower manage all the screens to coincide with the gallery opening hours.\n\nHaving free access to a lot of old PC hardware, I had to find a version of\nLinux of the same era. I settled with Suse 9 running the rudimentary TWM X\nWindows Manager. Nvidia still had drivers available! Using scavenged\nmaterials, I recall only spending about $100 on hardware fastenings and\nelectrical power boards.\n\nThe server was multi-homed, meaning the screen driving PCs sat on their own\ntrusted network, while the server was also on a less trusted network\nallowing remote systems administration.\n\nThe Videowall continued to be used post exhibition for a few years as a\nConference Information Board for locally held events.\nOverall, it was a great project for applied Linux.\n\n\nJose Schiavon\nI've been a subscriber since 2000, but I started\nen train de lire LJ in 1998.\nI subscribed because I didn't want to miss an issue, because I was buying\nthem from the magazine stand.\nThere are too many favorite memories, but the one that comes\nto my mind is the email sent out in January last year with the\nannonce de LJ 2.0. Way to go!\nThe first distribution I installed was Slackware 2.1 in 1996. The\ninstallation CD came from the book Build a Linux Internet Server par\nGeorge Eckel, and since then, I have used several other distros.\nHappy 25th birthday!\n\nRex Guinn\nI've subscribed for 24 years.\nI really like to read the articles and then follow along.\nI like Reuven Lerner's articles, Dave Taylor's and Kyle Rankin.\nMy favorite articles were by Shawn Powers on his bird watching.\nSlackware, I think, back in the 1990s was my first distro. I had one of the original laptops that\nonly had a diskette drive and a 10Gig hd. I installed Slackware on it with\ndiskettes, it took three tries.\nI used it to do a newsletter for our motorcycle club with tex. It was lots of\nfun (ha ha), but it worked.\n\nSam Schmalzried\nI've been subscribed to Linux Journal for about six months.\nThe quality of articles is really high, and most of the articles are\nmore relevant to me than other Linux-related publications tend to be.\nUnfortunately I haven't been reading long enough to have good or bad\nmemories about Linux Journal.\nMy first distribution was Ubuntu 11.04 (I think), right before they\nswitched from GNOME to Unity as the default desktop environment. That first version update\nwas a big surprise because everything changed!\n\n\nClaus Kalle\n\nI've subscribed since mid-1995, or maybe the end of 1994 or earlier (USENIX\nLISA 93?).\nIt is THE source for free-thinking Linux enthusiam and its people.\nMy favorite memory is the appearance of an international Linux Journal after many years of\nwork in the German UNIX Users Group (GUUG) and its technical newsletter\nGUUG-Nachrichten.\nMy first distro was Slackware.\nFace picture attached.\nOr would you prefer it in .face format? Rappelles toi? 🙂\n\nLuca Maranzano\n\nI subscribed from the\nvery beginning, number 1!\nI subscribe to keep myself up to date with the\nLinux ecosystem.\nArticles about the Wine Project for running\nWindows app under Linux were my favorite.\nMy first distros were SLS Softlanding Linux Systems\nand Debian 0.93.\n\n\nRicardo Patara\nI've subscribed\nfor more then 10 years.\nI have been working with Linux\nsince college, and in my day to day, there is a set of Linux servers I had to\nadminister, and in some cases do some kernel tunning, and Linux\nJournal était\nvery good source of information, tips and knowledge.\nPréféré LJ memory is hacks from Kyle Rankin that I always had\nthe opportunity to try at work.\nMy first distro was Red Hat and the\ninstallation was using set of CD-ROMs.\n\n\nJens Hilligsøe\n\nThe first issue I received was #10.\nBack in 1994, already being enthusiastic about Linux, I discovered one of\nmy fellow students at Uni had an issue with him. I got some sort of coupon,\nfrom inside the magazine that I could fill out with my details, and I sent it off.\nI still retain the in print versions I have gotten over the years in my\nlibrary. It's not very Marie Kondo-like, but I have good memories of learning new\ntechnologies in there.\nReuven's first article on Ruby on Rails is my favorite memory. Or, this is I believe, from\nan issue before #10, but the one about the HTTP protocol and the\npossibilities it could have.\n\nMy first distribution was 40 floppy SlackWare on a multi-day run between Uni and my dorm room (I\nowned ~20 blank floppies).\n\nTord Larsson\nI've been a subscriber for quite a while, and I enjoy quite a bit reading the\nLJ\nissues once\nthey arrive. I'm very impressed by the quality and the skills of those that\nécrire des articles\nfor the journal, and I hope it can continue for the next 25 years.\nI've subscribed for approx. 15 ans\nto keep myself updated on the Linux community.\nMy favorite LJ memory is when the journal was "rescued" and\nre-started.\nMy first distro was Red Hat Linux 5 (I think that was the\nversion number).\n\n\nMarkus Falkner\nAs far as my subscription, I had to search through my emails (order conformation), and the oldest I found\ndates back to 2005.\nI subscribe to support your work and to learn something new every now and then. Ses\nsimply not possible to review all Linux applications and news on my own.\nWith so much high quality content, it's not so easy for me to pick one\nfavorite memory. Quoi\nI've really enjoyed reading since the beginning are the columns (EOF, Hack and\n/, Work the Shell, diff -u, …).\nMy first distro? That's a hard question. Most probably it was SuSE.\nCurrently, I'm on Manjaro after a few\nyears of using KUbuntu and some others.\n\nJarom\nI started subscribing to Linux Journal in 2000.\nI subscribe because I am interested in what is happening in Linux.\nIt was so cool to use Slackware and a bunch of floppy drives to get a\nmulti-user multi-tasking UNIX-like operating system on my PC. I was much\nhappier using Red Hat 4.2 on a CDROM however.\nMy favorite Linux Journal memory is when it came back from the dead.\n\nChandler Wilkerson\nI've been a subscriber since some point\nin 1997. (I had to let go of my paper back issues long ago.)\nI continue to subscribe to LJ because of the relevance of its focus to my\nown professional and hobby use of Linux. As I see each new cover for the\nfirst time, more often than not, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the focus\nof the new issue aligns with some topic I'd very recently either unearthed,\nor meant to delve into, but had not had time for.\n\nI have many great memories of LJ over the years. One that amused me was\nthe tongue-in-cheek backlash against Marcel Gagné's Cooking with Linux\ncolumn. I always appreciated his lighthearted style and use of recipes as\na metaphor for installing software—prescient, given the rise of automation\ntools based on, yes, recipes and cookbooks.\n\nI suppose unpacking tarballs to install software was always near to my\nheart considering I started with Slakware (from the 1994 InfoMagic CDROM\nset, still hanging on my wall).\n\nHere's to many more years!\n\nPeter Teuben\nI've been a subscriber\nsince the first stapled\nun.\nIt's just a fun read\nMy favorites were the "best of" articles.\nMy first distro was Slackware, 1994/5, on a\n386SX.\n\nPrior to 1994, I always used VMS and UNIX-based systems professionally,\nand when I booted Slackware on a 386SX (with way too little memory), I\nwas flabbergasted when I saw the familiar X-terminal in the twm window\nmanager. It took minutes to load and was quite useless, but the fact\nthat at home I could run this, I was sold. I still had my 3b1 (an\nAT&T box with a 10 MHz 68010 processor). I immediately put a 486DX2-66\nbox together, which was the state of the art at the time, and ran my\nbenchmarks, outperforming my Sun3 and even Sun4 at the office. Pour\nsome professional work, I keep a list of benchmarks of an N-body\ncode. Both the 16MHz 386SX and the 68010 did not have a floating point\nprocessor and ran this particular code in 87" and 49" resp. A Sun-4/60\nwould run this in 1", but the 486 in 0.093", more than 10 times\nplus rapide. For comparison, one of my modern desktops would run this in\n0.00030", about 300 times the speed of the 486.\n\nI can also add that I converted our group from Solaris to Linux. nous\nstill run Linux on all of our desktops, although quite a few of my\ncolleagues have switched to the almost-UNIX laptops that Apple sells.\n\nKosmas Chatzimichalis\nI've been a subscriber since 2009 for the interesting articles and many\nopportunities to discover.\nToo many favorites to put here—there's just always interesting articles and ideas to\nexplore after reading them in Linux Journal. My most recent\nfavorite memory was definitely\nthe restart after the short break.\nMy first distribution was quite possibly Mandriva around 2000.\n\n\nGeorge Dimitoglou\nI've been a subscriber for\na dozen years, maybe longer, but the earliest receipt I can find in my\nemail is from 07-Apr-2007.\nI subscribe to support the movement!\nMy favorite memory: it is not just content, I like it all—it was how nostalgic I felt when I realized that the publication will be\ngoing online and I would no longer hold it in my hands. I like the\nelectronic version, I just realized how much I love my LJ!\nFirst distro was Debian.\n\n\nTom Parrott\nSubscriber since 2012.\nFavourite: Doc Searls' posts.\nFirst distro: Debian Woody\n\n\nSalahuddin M. ElKazak\nI'vew subscribed for about five years (with\ngaps).\nIt is a very useful magazine, and\nit's about Linux, enough said!\nMy favorite is Shawn Powers' useful articles with\nhumor. I remember reading a part on wives and although they prevent us from\ntaking the switches apart and jacking them up to crontabs, they keep us\nwell fed and dressed! :RÉ\nI cannot remember my first distribution, but I\nusually prefer the ones featuring Security.\n\nEvan Jenkins\n\nI started reading Linux\nJournal very early on in the game, like episode two or three or something.\nI was a mainframe console operator at the time looking to learn UNIX, and\none of my colleagues tipped me off. I thought "why not install UNIX at home\nand learn it from the inside out?" I was hooked.\nTwenty-six years later, I'm still\nhooked. I was a regular subscriber for one-year stints, and then suffered\nà travers le Linux Journal blackout. But now I take the digital subscription\nout of pure joy and interest.\n\nI recall stumbling across a howto that\nlayed out the basics of setting up point-to-point protocol and supporting\ntelnet between two Linux boxen. I was all over that and had my connection\nfrom home to work running in a flash. It was the first time anyone in my\nshop had every heard of Linux. The year? 1996.\n\nMy first distro? Here, I'll try this one from\nmemory, SLS 0.99pl45. I believe the pl stood for "patch level". My first\nrequirement: obtain about 25 3.25" floppies for the download, about 15 of\nwhich were for X alone.\n\nRay Foulkes\n\nAbove is me, Ray Foulkes, having fun on holidays. I am 73 years old and\nhave been a Linux Journal subscriber for er, I think since the beginning of\ntime (that is, I have forgotten). The earliest email I have from you is April\n2007. Prior to my retirement 15 years ago, I was a VP of a large\norganization in Europe. My remit was entirely technical and had been the\nwhole of my career in computing (since 1969). Why do I still subscribe?\nPrimarily, I like your style, and I like to keep up to date with what is\ngoing on in the Linux world.\n\nI am however a Linux user rather than a Linux developer or experimenter. je\nhave seen in various magazines the "desktops" of various readers. They all\nlook beautifully neat. To illustrate my use of Linux (and other OSes), I\nthought that I would send you an image of the reality of my desktop as\nopposed to the marketing version, and then explain my use of Linux.\n\n\nThe two large screens are one of three OpenSuse "desktops". The one on the\nleft is showing my "domestic" desktop, which is Linux Mint (a somewhat old\nversion) running under VMware Workstation on the OpenSUSE host. There I do\nmy email and fun browsing (like now), but normally it (and the other large\nscreen) contains several windows of the SEGGER development environment,\nKfind, Kate, Kompare, Ultraedit (sometimes), plus various other technical\ntools as well as a couple terminal windows (for midnight commander, etc.).\nThat is just as cluttered as the rest of my physical desktop.\n\nThe portable to the right-hand side is (close your eyes here) a Windows 10\nmachine for doing those things that even my VMware Windows image cannot do\n(such as deal with obscure USB devices). It also does things that Linux cannot\ndo (such as run technical programs written and supported only on Windows).\n\nJust peeping around the end of the large screen to the right is an EEEpc\n901 (upgraded EEprom) running LXDE, which I take with me on journeys if I\nthink someone is likely to steal my PC (good luck with selling an EEEpc).\n\nThe large telephone is an IP extension to my friend's exchange in his house\nin the UK. I failed to mention that the above setup is in France, by the\nway. Si\nyou look carefully, you will see bits of electronics with wires scattered\nsur. These are the nRF52 development cards (and some targets, but too\nsmall to see). I am developing software using the large machines for these\nlittle radios that contain an ARM Cortex processor running at 64MHz,\n1Mbyte EEprom and 256Kbyte RAM together with the 2.4GHz radio, and no, they\nare not running Linux before you ask. The box at the back between the\nscreens is an oscilloscope (only runs on Windows though), which I use for\nchecking the digital signals coming from the nRF52s.\n\nMy electronics desk (just as cluttered) sits to the left of this one with\nthe usual array of magnifying glasses, solder station, wires, chips and so\nsur.\n\nSo, by preference, I am a Linux rather than a Windows user. Although you\ncan see a pretty picture on the right-hand screen, I really don't give much\nof a hoot about how pretty my desktop looks or whether windows fold as I\nclose them. Although I keep my machines fully patched up, I try very hard\nne pas to upgrade to some new version. My desire is stability, not just in the\ntechnical sense of not crashing, but in the human sense of not having to\nlearn yet another way of doing something, searching menus that some cretin\nthinks should be shuffled, missing facilities that someone thinks\n"simplifies my life", banning me from putting things where I like on my\nscreen desktop etc., etc., etc. I am not totally immune to improvements, but\nthe gain has to be worth the pain. After all, in my career I have learned\nto use at least 20 text editors, so learning another one should be easy.\nHowever, I have a "day job" so to speak, so I will stick with what I know,\nMerci. I used to use the GNU toolchain (I still do in a sense since SEGGER\nuses the GNU compiler) but the SEGGER development environment saves me from\nhaving 20 windows open when debugging two nRF52 simultaneously (the penalty\nof developing radio software). SEGGER took a lot less time to learn than\nGNU compiler, linker, debugger and speeded up my development so learning it\nwas worthwhile. I had already confronted Eclipse and, like it's name,\ndecided that it was obscure(d).\n\nDuring my career I was somewhat guilty of pushing Linux long before it was\nready for prime time. I tried a few times but my R&D team routinely came\nback with the "you gotta be kidding" result. I have happily watched its\namazing progress, both through using it and following its development in\nthe press, such as in Linux Journal. I started off (if I faintly recall) by\nbuying a boxed Suse, which I feel has been one of the most stable Linux\ndistributions over its lifetime.\n\nDonc là vous l'avez. You now know one of your loyal readers just a little\nbit better—not a "no Windows" person, but still a Linux advocate.\n\n\nProf. Jean-François Boisvieux\nI've been a subscriber from the beginning, I used Linux when I could install a\nSlackware (I think) with two diskettes as far as I remember.\nLJ was the reference to learn how to use and to correct errors.\nIt's interesting, well written, inspiring.\n\n\nPierluigi\nI believe that, despite being a loyal subscriber for so many years, this is\nthe first time I've written to LJ.\nAfter 25 years, however, I thought it was about time.\n\nWell, if I recall correctly I've been a LJ subscriber since 1995\nor 1996. I\nremember I found the magazine at an international newsstand here in Rome.\nThen, after voraciously reading it, I immediately decided to subscribe\n(althrough the subscription was by snail mail, no online subscriptions yet).\nAt that time, it was the one and only Linux magazine I could find, and I was\nthrilled and amazed by the quality of its articles (and still am nowadays,\nby the way).\n\nI was learning and studying Linux (first distribution was Slackware\n0.something), and I realized that reading LJ was a tremendous help and\npleasure, also because the documentation was very sparse and difficult to\nfind (no internet as we know it today, no Google).\nMy favorite LJ memory is probably the eagerness to open the\nLJ envelope just\nafter receiving the magazine in my mailbox and start reading it, line by\nline, ad by ad, consuming the paper pages.\n\nToday, so many things have changed in our lives, in our jobs, but for me,\nLinux Journal still means the same old pleasure of learning something\ninteresting and valuable.\n\nThank you all, for being a loyal companion to me for so much time and keep\nup the great work!\n\nRobert Patton II\nI've been a subscriber for about two years.\nI like the info on what is being used and the Bash Programming articles.\nMy favorite is trying out the Bash programming examples from Dave, and\nlearning syntax is everything still even after all these years.\nMy first distro originally was Caldera Open Linux (2.0 kernel if I remember\ncorrectly), then I moved to Slackware 3.4 around 1997 I think (now running\nSlackware 14.2).\n\n\nRuslan Sarychev\n\nI've subscribed to the magazine since October 2018.\nI am interested in the development of open source and the implementation of\nprojects in open code. As practice shows, open-source solutions are more\nflexible and reliable, although it requires a lot of work on the correct\nconfiguration of the system and code.\n\nThe first distribution I used was Debian 3.0, a branch of Debian with a\nlong history, and I think it's simple enough for beginners to use. Au\nmoment, more attention is paid to the branch of Red Hat, in particular\nCentos.\n\n\nPhilip Raymond\n\nJelle Kalf\n\nLJ has been a good friend for more than a decade. I was a member in the\nearlier times around the 2000s and later on as well.\nIt's a valuable treasure cove full of invaluable insights and information\non a broad spectrum of Linux-based application landscape.\nMy favorite LJ memory is the perserverance of LJ et le\neditors keeping LJ vivant\nfor the "so-manyth-time" around. Continuez votre bon travail!\nMy first distro was Slackware 2.2, which came on the Infomagic.com "LINUX\nDeveloper's Resource" of March 1995. I still have this CD set. It's the\ntreasure of my home office.\n\n\nManuel Portillo\nI've been a subscriber for nine years.\nI've always been always passionate\nabout learning new technologies, knowing about what other people are doing\nin this field (Linux, system administration, DevOps, Security) and open\nsource projects, so I found the content of the magazine really covering\nmost of these interesting topics to me, at different levels. Alors\nthis is how I support the LJ team's work.\n\nI remember very well that a good friend\n(Howard Pepper), which is the best person I know when it comes to writing\nshell scripts, worked on a script to calculate the day of the week for a\ngiven date, and then a few issues later we saw an article from Dave Taylor\nwith a similar topic, and then my friend wrote to the magazine to mention\nhis solution, which eventually made it to the Letters section of the\nmagazine, and Howard showed it to me very proudly, and even Dave recognized his\nskills.\n\nMandrake was my first distro.\n\n\nMartin Roberts\nI've subscribed since 2011.\nI like the content and didn't\nlike having to use a non-Linux machine to read most of the others.\nMy favorite LJ memory is seeing you back in print.\nFirst distro was Trans-Ameritech V1.0\nMarch 1995, installed with my first and very expensive CD drive.\nPost traumatic stress from SCO Unix install on 53! floppy disks!!!\n\n\nToby Meehan\n\nI've subscribed for about 15 years (best guess).\nPourquoi? I'm a Linux user. I believe in sharing and the open source approach\nto software development. I support that community in different ways, Linux\nJournal being one of them. I also find practical advice, general trends,\nand (from Doc Searls) abstract concepts to ponder. More recently, I've\nbeen listening to your podcast.\n\nFavorite memory? Learning that the animation industry was using Linux\nheavily for their 3D rendering farms in an LJ article many years ago. Il\nwas rewarding to think my kids benefited from Linux in a very direct and\nmeaningful way.\n\nFirst distro? Red Hat Linux v4. I knew folks who were using Yggdrasil\nLinux and Slackware, but I wasn't able to buy a computer until later when\nRed Hat rose in popularity. I still remember my surprise when Ted Ts'o\n(kernel developer) replied to a modem driver question I posted.\n\nI stuck with Red Hat Linux until they phased it out with Red Hat Enterprise\nLinux and before they got Fedora stable. I moved to Mandrake until it\nchanged owners and changed its name to Mandriva. I then tried SuSE for a\nbit, but eventually got hooked on Kubuntu until the KDE 4 disaster. Then\nit was onto Ubuntu until they went with Unity. I've been on Linux Mint\nsince.\n\n\nViorel Anghel\nI'm one of the founding members of the Romanian\nLinux Users Group (RLUG).\nI've been using Linux since ~1995, first as a hobby, then as a\nprofessional. The first\ndistribution I used was Slackware, installed from (a backpack with) 30 floppy\ndisks.\n\nI've been a subscriber since around 2000–2001. I keep my Linux\nJournal abonnement\nbecause it makes me zen.\n\n\nPeter Ziobrzynski\nI've been a subscriber 20+ years for access to Linux-related howtos.\nMy favorite Linux memory is powering up X11 on Yggdrasil on my\ni386.\nMy first distro was TAMU in 1992.\nSee an article I wrote for LJ ici.\n\nAndrii Dykhlin\n\nI have been a subscriber since September 2017\n(having the issues paid until the December 2020).\nI have subscribed to LJ because it is an old and really relevant part of\nthe GNU/Linux history. I have read articles on the website and decided to\ngive it a try.\n\nI was very upset when Linux Journal cancelled the publications, and\nimmediately bought the archive to help LJ to survive. But that was the\nfirst step to the best memories, as the journal is alive again, and that is\nwonderful. Long live the king! And realizing Dave Taylor is "our guy" as\nwell, I really appreciate his work on DooM.\n\nI tried Kubuntu in 2010, and it was my first distribution and a step away\nfrom Windows XP. Without a doubt, it was the cool step. I have tried some\nother distributions like OpenSuse, Fedora, Arch and different *buntu\nflavors, but I still stay with pure and stable Debian at home and\nDebian/CentOS for my own needs on the VPS.\n\nI would like to thank you for sharing the knowledge, the passion to the FLOSS\ncommunity, to all that we have now. No one would conquer the mountain\nwithout a movement, and as far as we know, the world without borders and\nwalls hardly needs Windows and Gates. But we can forgive them everything\nand live our own lives.\n\n\nGary Stewart\nI been a subscriber\nfrom the second issue, only because I did not find out in time to subscribe\ndu\n first, although I did manage to did get a loose-leaf photocopied back\nissue of it. je\n also subscribed to the all too short lived Embedded Linux\nJournal, which,\nbeing an old\n hardware/software guy (in that order) is still one of my main interests in\nLinux.\n\nI subscribe for the Quality and diversity of the articles. There has always been at least one\narticle,\n and usually more than one, that I find interesting or useful. Et ils\nhave always been well written.\n\nMy favorite LJ Mémoire\nis when I read my email that said Linux Journal was back from the dead!\n\nMy first distro was Linux Systems Laboratory Linux release 0.99 on about 60\n3 1/2" double-sided/double-density floppy disks.\n\n\nOno Vaticone\nI've been a subscriber for\nabout 10 years because Linux rocks!\nMy favorite memory was the first appearances of lightweight\nvirtualization and Docker.\nFirst distro was Slackware.\n\nChris "Trip" Artrip\nI have been a subscriber for approximately 11 years. I subscribe for the\ninsightful "How-to" articles on various Linux-based software solutions as\nwell as for Kyle Rankin's command-line articles.\nMy favorite memories from Linux Journal were the video introductions by\nShawn Powers. His enthusiasm and passion in those short videos made me want\nto dig into each issue that much quicker.\n\nMy first experience with Linux was with S.u.S.E. and Red Hat in 1997. The\nfirst distribution I installed to a personal machine for my own use was\nMandrake in 1999. I currently have Linux Mint installed on a home laptop\nand a home desktop.\n\nBill Pemberton\nI've been reading LJ off and on for many years.\nI honestly don't recall how far back my mags went, but I converted to a cd\ncopy and tossed them. It's the info that is important to me. I have enjoyed\nthe columns about BASH, various things folks have done with Linux (web\nservers, camera apps, games, databases, etc.) and the op-ed pieces. Global,\nthere is nothing about LJ that I have taken exception with. Different\nopinions sure. But layout, goals, presentation have been just great. J'ai\nbeen playing with this stuff since Slackware 0.99pl14, installed via gravis\nsound card as the cdrom interface for a sony cd reader on a gateway 486\ncomputer. I kept the turbo boost toggled on for kicks. I had to hand-patch\nthe interrupts for the internal modem because it was not keeping the\nupdate. After a month or so, I dumped the internal for an external. C'était\nthe last desktop computer I bought. I have built everything since.\n\nJohn Fox\nI've been a subscriber for about 14 years.\nI have always believed that Linux is an operating\nsystem that will be here to stay. As an IT professional, I need to keep up\nto date on what goes on in the operating system arena. Linux\nJournal est mon\ngo-to magazine for that information on Linux.\nI enjoy getting to go through every page\neach month, reading the articles that peak my interest and trying out the\nnew things that I learned from the magazine.\nFirst distro was Red Hat 5.0.\n\n\nStephen Cross\nI've been a subscriber for two months. It was a gift from my wife at\nChristmas.\nI moved from Mac to Linux in 2018. New to Linux, I'm a sponge for\ninformation.\nMy first distro was PopOS!\n\nJean-Michel Lacroix\nI've subscribed since 1995 because\nI love Linux. ma\npréféré LJ memory is building a virtual juke box.\nFirst distro was Slackware.\n\n\nRay Tracy\nThe first Issue I remember was November 1994, and Samba was the topic. j'ai\nbeen a longtime UNIX user/administrator and wanted to find out more about\nthis Linux thing, so I grabbed an old machine and about 2 million floppy\ndisks from Slackware,\nand after an awful long time, BAM! I had my very own Linux box. I felt\nvery much at home with it coming from UNIX. Then came getting the GUI to\nwork, mode lines and a few hundred obscure settings later, I had X up and\nfonctionnement. Then getting it to talk with the hated enemy, Windows! le\nexcitement for me was to be able to rip into the guts and poke all the\ncorners. Tune that baby to a fare thee well. Great fun, and of course I\ncould do it all better than anyone else—NOT, but I tried.\nThanks for a great rag.\n\n\nWesley J. Wieland\n\nI've been a subscriber for about 5 years, with an interruption in there\nsomewhere.\nI enjoy the articles, find them pertinent and interesting as\nwell as informative. LJ often leads me to a tool or a configuration\nsetting that improves my knowledge.\nPréféré LJ memory: I emailed an article author who was covering Nextcloud\nsetup and usage. He replied in a timely way and was encouraging, seeming\nto take my input positively. I really appreciated that.\n\nFirst distribution: I don't recall the actual "version". It was pre-v1.0\nand came in a tarball, which broke out to about 80 3.5" floppy disks. It took\nme a whole morning to load it on a 386SX. Getting X up and running took\nanother half a day. I suppose that if one insisted on an actual\n"distribution", it was I believe Red Hat. Later on it was Mandrake, then onto\nSUSE, and some others for short times. I like any Debian-based distro for\nthe most part. But whatever it is, it has to be able to run Enlightenment.\nThat is my one irrational requirement.\n\nMike Jeays\n\nI have been a subscriber since at least 2006, and I have many back issues\nstacked up in my basement that I plan to look through "one day". J'ai commencé\nusing FreeBSD back in 1997 when a friend gave me a copy on 3.5 inch\nfloppies, including X-windows on about 30 disks. Getting a CD reader\nwas a great advance a couple years later. I switched to Linux quite\nsoon after, but I don't remember which distribution. Mint is my favorite distro\nat the moment, and I have tried many others using VirtualBox.\n\nI enjoy Linux Journal for its in-depth articles on many topics, although I\nam a bit out of my depth sometimes. I retired in 2006, when I was the open\nsource advocate for a Canadian government department.\n\nThe July 2006 issue got me interested in Ruby and Ruby on Rails, which\nwere new to me. Ruby is a interesting alternative to Python, which I was\nusing quite heavily at the time. The same issue had an excellent article on\nOpenSSL, which I read thoroughly.\n\nChris Rheinherren\n\nMy name is Chris Rheinherren and I've been a subscriber of Linux\nJournal\nfor at least 5 years if not a few more beyond that. I got interested in\nLinux and was looking around for a magazine, and tried a few of them but\npréférer Linux Journal as a professional magazine.\n\nI first started out with Simply Mepis and later moved on to Fedora and\nUbuntu. I currently use Ubuntu almost exclusively. I have written a couple\narticles for Full Circle magazine, a community-based magazine for Ubuntu\nutilisateurs.\n\nI own and operate a small IRC network that uses Linux servers and manage\nseveral websites as well.\n\n\nPeter Moyn\nI've been a subscriber for 21 years.\nI was a UNIX system\nprogrammer and found that Linux was a cheap way to run a UNIX-like system in\nmy home lab. Linux Journal was a very good way of keeping up with what\nwas happening on the platform.\nI think the fact the journal is\nback publishing again is my "favorite memory".\nI think my first distro was the Caldera Desktop Distribution from the mid-1990s.\n\n\nFrank L. Palmeri\n\nI've been a subscriber for 10 years.\nLinux Journal is the most reliable source of\ninformation on the world's best operating system.\nMy favorite memory is the very creative Tux photos that used\nto be submitted. Tux often found himself in some very strange places.\nFirst distro was Ubuntu.\n\nCongratulations on 25 years of Linux Journal! That's quite an\nachievement,\nand I'm very lucky to have been around for a good chunk of it. So many\ngreat articles over all these years. Really great when it used to be on the\nnewstand as well, and I still miss that, but I know time marches on. Keep\nup the great work for the next 25 years.\n\nJim Hall\n\nI don't remember how long I've been a subscriber to Linux Journal, but I\nknow it was pretty early in its history. Maybe 1995 or so.\n\nI am a longtime Linux user. I started with Linux in 1993. I was a "power"\nMS-DOS user at the time, but frequently used the UNIX computer labs in the\ncomputer science department, especially to write data analysis programs for\nmy physics labs. I wanted the same power on my PC at home. I asked around\non the Usenet newsgroups and someone recommended this new thing called\n"Linux". It was free and I could run it on my '386 computer. I paid someone\nto mail me a stack of 3 1/2-inch floppies with the Softlanding Linux\nSystem (SLS) distribution installer. At the time, SLS advertised itself as\na "Gentle Touchdowns for DOS Bailouts" and it certainly was easy enough for\nme.\n\nThat was my first introduction to Linux. Linux was still pretty rough; nous\ndidn't have kernel modules in the pre-1.0 days. If you wanted to add\nsupport for a sound card or floppy tape drive, you had to compile a custom\nkernel. But it was enough for me. I was immediately hooked. I'm still\nrunning Linux (Fedora 29) and loving it.\n\nI have written or contributed to dozens of open-source software programs\nsince the 1990s, but the one I'll be known for is FreeDOS, a free software/open source software implementation of DOS. And it's interesting to note\nthat FreeDOS would not have happened without Linux. In 1994, when it seemed\ncertain Microsoft would stop developing MS-DOS, I thought, "If people could\ncome together to create a free version of UNIX (Linux), I'm sure we could do\nthe same with DOS (FreeDOS)." And that's what happened. It was because of\nLinux's success that I decided to start FreeDOS.\n\nTim LaBerge\nI've been a subscriber since fall 2001. I subscribe to Linux\nJournal à\nsupport the community that supports Open Source. My favorite Linux\nJournal\nmemory is seeing an article written by a fellow graduate of Grafton (North\nDakota) High School. My first distribution was a flavor of Slackware…I\nthink I still have the CDs it came on.\n\nBest regards and keep up the good fight.\n\n\nJesse A Lambertson\nI've been a subscriber for\nthree years I believe (since\nbefore the current version of LJ).\nI am a life-long learner and\ncomputers, OS and FOSS, alternatives, are part of that learning.\nI think the long Kyle Rankin write-up\nof Qubes was pretty fantastic.\nBefore I installed (wiping\nWindows for good) and used my current two Ubuntu variations, I installed\nDebian as my default on a desktop and a couple virtual machines before\ncette.\n\nAmel Hodzic\n\nI'm from Chicago, and I've been a Linux Journal abonné\nfor over a decade now. I love the topics covered therein, along with\nuseful tips, ideas and tech trends covered by the writers of Linux\nJournal. One of my favorite memories related to Linux\nJournal est en fait\nthe "Open Video to HP" by Shawn Powers, after he found out that HP blindly\nendorsed Windows Vista for its lightweight netbook for educational\nfins. I am proud to continue supporting Linux Journal and their work.\n\n\nPatrick Goetz\nI've been a continuous subscriber since the first issue, with two subscriptions\n(work and home) during the print era.\nI subscribe to keep up with Linux developments, necessary for a Linux\nadmin.\nMy first distro was Yggdrasil.\n\n\nMichael Gracy\n\nI have been a reader and subscriber for 10+ years!\nI subscribe because it is the most useful and unbiased publication on\nLinux and technology in the world.\nMy favorite memory is when LJL rose from the proverbial grave to\ncontinue publishing!\nMy first distribution was Red Hat 7 (pre-RHEL, Centos and Fedora), and my\nfirst UNIX was AT&T Unix 1.0\nI've been a SysAdmin/DevOps engineer for almost 30 years and a "button\npusher" since about age 5.\n\nAttached is a picture of me performing at a concert for "Concord (CA) Night\nOut.\n\n\nRich Altmaier\n\nI've been a subscriber since about early 2003.\nI started following Linux Journal during the SCO fiasco, where SCO sued\nvarious vendors claiming code had been taken from Unix System V. You\nmight recall I posted a letter denying such taking, when I was VP of\nEngineering at then SGI. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO%E2%80%93SGI_code_dispute_of_2003.\nI don't see that my letter itself was captured by wikipedia, so I attach a\ncopy.\nLinux Journal has always been a great reference for industry information,\nas well as technical information!\n\nRegarding my favorite memory, I am not certain that LJ published responses\nto my letter, but in general, I remember a very big outpouring of support\nfrom the Linux community for our defense of Linux against SCO. I remember\nbeing very happy to see such support!\n\n\nSergi Puso\nI've been a subscriber\nfor 18 years, minus a five-month\nhiatus when you went 100% digital and it seemed outrageous to me at the\ntemps. Now, of course, it'd feel 10x more outrageous if you were to switch\nback to paper.\n\nI would highlight that the articles\nare not just all technical info but also have a bit of a personal touch,\nwhere the authors show you all the journey, not only the right solution but\nalso how they got there and what they got wrong along the way.\nWhat's my favorite LJ memory? Well of course the resurrection in 2018 was\npure joy. I appreciated a lot your fight to get the magazine going again.\nI first used Slackware circa\n1998, and SuSE 6.2 is the first I ever purchased.\n\nJaroslav Svoboda\n\nI wish you lot of subscribers, and I wish us, readers, great time while\nreading your articles.\nI've been a subscriber for three months,\nbecause I love Linux, libre software, and I wish to support this amazing\nmagazine that brings tons of valuable information.\nMy first distro was Mandrake FiveStar around year 2004, which my father\nbought for $25 USD in\na pack with user manual. I was only 13, and the installation was not easy\nfor me even though that user manual was translated to my language (Czech).\nEverything was done by the method of trial and error. No C:, command line and no\ngames—well I was a kid, so I did not understand why would anybody use\nthis thing. I was a slave of Microsloth during my teen years because of\nJeux. Linux has been my main OS for more than 5 years now, and I would not\ngo back.\n\nWalter James\n\nI've subscribed since about 2004.\nIt is all a rollicking good read. Doc Searls is always compulsive reading.\nMy first distro was one of the early Red Hats.\n\nMy favourite memory of using Linux was in 1997. I was working, in those\ndays, at one of the five technical colleges in Oman. In those days we had\nRed Hat Linux 5.0, and my IT department had been using it for some time as\nthe departmental file server for our Windows 95 clients in the computer\nlabs and our staff rooms.\n\nOur ministry issued all five of the colleges with a shiny new PC with NT\nserver on it to run the college?~@~Ys network. For some reason, our\ncollege's NT server was the last to arrive. It came a long time after the\nother colleges had theirs, and by then I'd heard the reports of how bad it\nwas and of how it broke down all the time. I remember how we installed the\nnew kit in our server room but didn't connect it to anything. Instead, we\nconnected the other two departments to our existing Linux server and just\nkept quiet about it.\n\nI remember how, for years, the unreliability of those NT servers was a\nmatter of ongoing controversy at the weekly deans' meetings. The acting dean\nof our college, who was also head of business studies, always reported how,\nto his firsthand knowledge, the NT server at our college was always\nworking fine and had never given a single problem.\n\nTo the four other deans, our college was a source of bewilderment. We never\ncame clean about it.\n\nMaurício Junqueira\nI've been a subscriber since around 1999.\nFavorite memory is Marcel Gangé starting an article saying "Bonjour mes amis"\nMy first distro was SuSE, and nowadays it's OpenSuse Leap.\n\n\nCharles Hattendorf\n\nI think I have subscribed since your\nfirst issue.\nLJ has fact-filled information on my\nfavorite operating system, and it's a testament to the power of open\nsource.\nMy favorite LJ memory is helping to port several hundred\nthousand lines of FORTRAN code over to GNU from an SGI Challenge and\nIRIX OS, thus saving the government a bundle of $$$, all with the\naide de LJ articles and the Linux community.\nFirst distro was Yggdrassil@ '92, and I still have the floppy. Keep up the good work\ngens! and thanks for being there.\n\nRichard Chapman\nI think I subscribed at the very outset, around 25 years ago anyway. je\nsubscribed because I had downloaded one of the 0.9x releases of Linux back\nin whenever that was (1991?). A friend and I downloaded it onto floppy\ndiscs. I did the odd-numbered disks and he did the even-numbered ones. je\ncan't remember how many nights it took us with 1200 baud modems. le\nexcitement of finally booting up a UNIX system on my PC was incredible.\nWhen I proudly showed my wife the command line, she said "So?"\nUndaunted, we downloaded the X distribution the same way. Around 1994 I\nstarted working at a new firm and was really eager to insinuate Linux into\ntheir systems. At the time they were using various services for email, but\nmostly CompuServe. Without really asking for permission, I set up a Linux\nmail server on a little machine with 8meg of memory that was lying around\nunused and then announced to them that they had corporate email. I did the\nsame with their web server—they didn't know they needed a web server.\nBy the time I left that company, Microsoft Exchange had replaced the Linux\nemail server, but nearly all their mission-critical systems were running on\nLinux in the background. Linux was bullet-proof. We had machines that ran\nfor years under heavy loads with nary a crash.\n\nThose were exciting days. We felt, somewhat arrogantly, that we could do\nanything and just about anything we did seemed like magic. Linux and open\nsource made it happen.\n\nValerio Di Giampietro\n\nI subscribed, for the first time, in 1994 starting with the third\nproblème.\nIn 1994 Linux Journal was the only magazine dedicated to Linux that\nwas still a hobby project of Linus Torvalds. Today it's still a pleasure to\nread a magazine for Linux enthusiasts.\nI still remember an interview with some Google engineers (or maybe founders?) on why they choose Linux for their new search engine. Au\ntime, they had 2,000 Linux servers.\nI installed Linux for the first time in May 1993, and I used the most\npopular distribution available at the time, it was SLS (Softlanding Linux\nSystem).\n\nd0Y3net\nI've been a subscriber for 2 years.\nI get great information bits and\noutlooks that I apply to my current skills and tools.\nMy favorite memory is when LJ annoncé\nthey were coming back from the shutdown of the publication.\n\n\nRalph Main\n\nI've been a subscriber roughly one year.\nI subscribe to Linux Journal for the superb articles offered in\nle magazine\neach month.\nMy favorite memory of LJ,/em> is the 1994 to 2018 download of each magazine over\nthe years.\n\nThe first Linux distribution that I used was Red Hat, back in 1995.\n\nHari Narayanan\n\nIt is great that you are celebrating 25 years of Linux Journal. Happy 25th\nbirthday.\nAnd thank you for being there for the last 25 years.\n\nI have been a Linux Journal,/em> subscriber for\n20+ years I think.\nEarlier in my career, I had to develop a Linux system from scratch. Chaque\npackage (I don't think there\nwere packages and package managers then) had to be chosen carefully and\noptimized to fit into the\nlimited space we had for an embedded system. While searching the\nnewsstands (yes, we had\nmagazines back then), I came across a copy of Linux Journal and found the\ncontents interesting.\nI decided to subscribe mostly out of curiosity. I had started with Linux\n1.0 that came on a couple floppy disks. I forget the name of the company\nthat built that.\nJust by sheer luck, there was an article about building a Linux system from\nscratch that was published not too long after I started my subscription.\nThat helped me tremendously in my project, and I wrote to the author thanking\nhim profusely. I have been a subscriber ever since.\nI believe that for any open source publication to survive, we all need to\nsupport it. It is also a forum for all\nof us to share our experiences and help others so that they don't have to\nre-invent the wheel. The knowledge\nthat we gain from others is invaluable. I also see this as a way for the\nLinux and Open Source community\nto connect with each other, and together we can make it better for everyone.\nWishing Linux Journal the very best and hope that it will be there for the\ngenerations to come.\n\n\nRalph D. Jenson\nI've been a subscriber since 1992, I think. I was working at Cray Research,\nInc., at the time and was very interested in a "Unix" that I wouldn't have to\nuse my company's licenses/clout to have at home. That was when the Linux\nkernel was .02 or so I think. I remember doing ftp.funet.fi ftps several\ntimes, but the kernel was much smaller then. I saw an announcement about\nLinux Journal (on USENet?) and agreed with the comment about needing a\nrespected journal to help further the cause of Linux, so I subscribed. je\nhave many memories about LJ over the ages. One of my fav's was when Dave\nTaylor wrote his first column. I was like "Hey, isn't that the guy from HP\nI've traded emails with about ELM?" So that brought back some memories of\nmy early days transitioning from being a IC designer to more of a\nsoftware/OS-focused systems person.\n\nGlad you folks have survived! I was greatly saddened when you announced you\nwere closing the doors.\n\nEduardo Díz Comellas\nI'm Eduardo Díaz Comellas, writing from Galicia, in the NW of Spai. J'ai\nbeen subscriber of LJ for a long long time, so much I can't remember. Peut être\nit was in 1996 or 1997. Purchasing LJ in Spain was a big deal, as shipping\nwas more expensive than the magazine itself! I loved those first days of\nLinux, and LJ was great part of the joy. I discovered myself month after\nmonth reading in LJ exactly the topics I was investigating those days. je\neven thought that LJ had mind-reading skills.\n\nI've always loved the mix of levels in LJ. Some articles for starters,\nothers very specific and advanced…and always interesting. Perl\nprogramming, sysadmin stuff—great fun. When, some years after, I started\nmy own consulting business, my LJ was available for all the IT staff.\n\nFor 25 more years to come! À votre santé!\n\n\nPete Phillips\nI'm pretty certain we started\nin the late 1990s.\nWhy do I subscribe to Linux Journal? Nostalgia! No, not\nreally—it's\njust in case another "editor wars" kicks off—I love a good editor war.\nSeriously, it's because there is so much going on in the Linux\ncommunity now that I think you need some sort of aggregator to fish out\nwhat is important, do a bit of horizon scanning, etc.\n\nMy favorite memory is seeing the org-mode article in LJ. j'ai utilisé\norg-mode to run my life for nearly 8 years, and it was great to see someone\nelse raving about it. Of course, I've moved back to vim now. Fickle.\n\nOur NHS laboratory used our\nfirst UNIX distro (CTIX from Convergent Technology) on a CT Miniframe we\nbought in 1986/7, and it came with CT's version of System V.2 as I recall.\nIt also came with a set of system 5 manuals in hard copy format in ring\nbinders. I spent many a happy evening learning about awk, sed, ls, vi, etc.\nWhen we retired it, we donated it to the Swansea University Computing club, and\nAlan Cox and someone else (apologies for not remembering your name) came\nalong to pick it up and gave me a bottle of wine! He asked why we had just\nbought a sun Sparc II and around 6 Sparc workstations instead of generic\n80386 machines running Linux! I think that was the first I had heard of\nLinux. My first Linux distro was Slackware in around 1993/4. I remember\nshuffling dozens of floppy disks in and out of my newly bought home\ncomputer. In the lab, 6 years later, we retired the Suns and moved lock\nstock and barrel to Linux (Red Hat, Suse and then Ubuntu).\n\nStuart Guthrie\nI've been a subscriber for about 4-5 years. I run with my co-founder a\nsoftware company in the Investigations industry that runs on an open-source\nstack—Spring/Emberjs/Hibernate—mostly deploying to Postgresql.\n\nje pense LJ has useful information and is a great way for the Linux community to\ncommunicate. As a business, we pick up some useful tips and have contacted\nsome of the advertisers regarding their products also.\n\nI have enjoyed hearing about the internal going ons of the kernal\ncommunauté. I wish I could help those efforts, but we work in the JS/Java\nworld.\n\nLOL. My first distro was Mandrake. Don't shoot me.\n\n\nJohn Floyd\nI'm a longtime subscriber.\nI subscribed since issue 2 after scoring the first issue as a door prize at the\nfirst meeting of the Sydney Linux users group!\n\nI still subscribe because the magazine still highlights modules, libraries\nor programs that fall under the radar on web searches or current awareness.\n\nMy first distribution was SLS. Then Slackware on 50 f\nfloppies.\n\nMy favorite memory is being able to use Linux at work to replace an IBM power aix box. Ce\ndepended on GNU FORTRAN becoming available. Then being able to write a\nPython program on a Linux system for autologging an echo sounder and GPS data\nwith real-time echo trace running on a weather-proof laptop!\n\nPaul Fortey\nI have been a Linux Journal reader/subscriber for many many years, ever\nsince I first came across Linux Journal (in print) 25 years ago.\nI live and work in Aberdeen Scotland.\n\nI have been a fan of Linux since 1993/1994 when I first installed Yggdrasil\nLinux, eventually moving to SLS linux and then on to Red Hat and Fedora.\n\nI used Linux as my desktop system until I was forced from a work\nperspective to move to Windows 7 years ago; however, I have used Linux\ncontinuously for the last 25 years.\n\nI am still running a number of servers on DigitalOcean and supporting\nsolutions on a number of others for customers, with solutions that have\nbeen running for 15+ years.\n\nI have tried to be an advocate of Linux solutions over the years,\nexplaining the virtues and benefits of using Linux, and Linux\nJournal était\ninstrumental in providing backup and examples of what they could do.\n\nOver the years there have so many good articles in Linux Journal c'est tout\nimpossible to pick just one, I only hope that you continue to keep up the\ngood work and continue the high standard that you have delivered in the\npast.\n\nI have been lucky to have used Linux over the past 25 years, and at some\npoint I would like to be able to contribute something back to the Linux\ncommunauté. Time and pressure of work has meant that I have not been able to do\nthis so far.\n\nPlease keep up the good work and I will continue to be a subscriber.\n\nBalázs Zalavári\n\nI am really glad to celebrate with you.\nI've been a subscriber since January 2006 (issue #141).\nI subscribe because an engineer must know a broad spectrum of tools\nto be able to choose the proper one.\nMy favorite LJ memory is how I could follow an interesting period of web development between 2005\nand 2010 with Reuven's great articles.\nMy first distro was Mandrake Linux 7.0 in 2000.\n\nGert Dewit\n\nI'm a subcriber since the very first issue (I've attached a picture of\na stack of print issues with the first issue on top).\nI started using Linux from kernel version 0.99p15, installed using 3\nSlackware floppy drives. Being over the moon with my personal UNIX\nsystem which meant I could use a similar system at home as the SunOS on\n68k processor I used at work, I wanted to know everything about Linux.\nQuand Linux Journal was announced, I did not hesitate to subscribe.\n\n\nLaurent 'Lol' Zimmerli\n\nI've been a subscriber\nsince September 2003.\nI read a few Linux publications and LJ was the best in my opinion.\nMy favorite LJ memory is the day I learned LJ was coming back! I was very sad to see it disappear a\nfew weeks before.\nMy first distro was Red Hat 3 'Picasso', installed with (damn) floppies!\n\nJeff Crews\n\nI'm not sure what you records show…I think I started a\nsubscription as soon as I found your publication existed.\nStarting an ISP, I was reading\nas many O'Reilly books with animals on the cover as I could…along with\nLJ.\nI self-taught myself Linux (after previously cutting my teeth with SunOS on\nSPARC stations. I wanted to understand as much as I could about Linux\napplications, development and what the trends in the Open Source community\nare. I enjoy reading how Linux can be used with other open source systems to\nhelp our company.\nI have lots of LJ memories, but the only one that I can\nthink of now is the fun articles by Marcel with the food metaphors.\nMy first distro was Slackware 2.3 running\nLinux kernel 1.2.8. I used a Micron Pentium 133 workstation to run\nsendmail, named, ftp, apache, RADIUS and pppd to provide dialup service\nwith 8 US Robotics Courier V. Everything modems direct connected on a\nComtrol RocketPort RS-232 for our rural dialup ISP.\n\nPierre Rochefort\nI can't remember how long I've been a subscriber, but it's been a\nwhile—maybe close to 20\nyears on and off (you'd have to look at your records…lol). I can remember\nasking my local newsstand operator (Le Signet in Hawkesbury,\nOntario—"Signet" is the French word for "Bookmark"—they still operate today) if\nthey would ever carry this obscure magazine called Linux Journal. j'ai utilisé\nto buy single magazines at first until I subscribed a few years later.\n\nI subscribed because it was the only way to get good information\nabout Linux. Back then, the internet was not what it is today. Getting to\nread what other people were doing was great. It's still a great resource\naujourd'hui.\n\nMy favorite LJ memory is receiving my first issue in the mail.\nSeems so long ago, but it was\ngreat. I would get my very own Linux Journal every month! What could be\nbetter. For some reason, I remember setting up a lot of things using\narticles from Linux Journal. I remember setting up KDE, diald (who uses\nthat anymore! And Samba, distcc.\n\nMy first distribution was a Slackware (or at least I think it was—I\nremember a version of 0.99pl17 for the kernel, but don't quote me on the\n  number), installed from floppy images that I had downloaded over the\ncourse of a month because the BBS I was downloading it from had daily\nmaximums, and the disk image were rapidly eating at that "quota". je suppose\nfor free, I couldn't expect much more than that. I was in college back\npuis,\nand money was always in short supply. Making all those floppy images was a\npainful process. Installing proved a challenge because I would get through\nmost of the disks only to get one bad disk near the end and have to redo\nthe disk image. Ah, the memories. I remember buying my first Linux\ndistribution on a trip to Quebec City over the holidays in 1994 while\nvisiting my dad's family. I recall the CDs being in a red multi-cd case\nbut can't remember the name of the company making it. Could be Walnut\nCreek but I'm not sure. It was a Slackware, of that I'm sure. I was so\nanxious to go back home because at my grandfather's house, there was no\ncomputer at all. When I got home (the four hour drive was a long one!!), I\nwas so nervous creating the the boot and the root disks. Booting from CD\nwasn't big back then. Picking the right root and boot disk with the correct\ndriver for whatever CD-ROM drive I had—I had this obscure drive that\nhooked up directly to a SoundBlaster card. Just the fact that this Linux\ndistribution was multi-user was fascinating to me. I was used to the DOS\nand Windows where multitasking wasn't exactly huge.\n\nMe again. I found which Linux distribution I bought first: It was a\nSlackware 4-CD set from InfoMagic – Google helped me ;-). It wasn't Walnut\nCreek as I originally stated. You guys are really taking me down memory\nlane on this one.\n\n\nStephen Brown aka digilink\n\nI've been a subscriber for\n10+ years because I learn a lot from the articles!\nBeing an avid amateur radio operator, I\nwas thrilled to see issue 189/January 2010.\nFirst distro ever was\nSlackware in 1997.\n\nChristopher N Angulo-Bertram\nI've been a subscriber for\nau moins 2\nannées\nto gain insight into Linux and\nthe community.\nMy first Linux distro was\nMepis.\n\nI would like to let people know that my company Angbert Enterprises is\nworking to get more SMBs to move to Linux not only on the server, but on\nthe desktop. I believe, having been a systems engineer for some large\ncorporations, that 90% of all users in a company could easily be moved to a\nLinux desktop, with no learning curve. The other 10% are because of\nstrange proprietary applications that need special work to make them work\non Linux, such as using Wine, Virtual Machines, or actually still needing a\nWindows computer.\n\nMichael Fox\nI'm not sure why LJ would want to feature me because, quite frankly, my\nskill level in Linux looks to be well below that of the reader that\nLJ est\nintended for. I agreed to be on the editorial board of the journal in the\nhope that I could help with comments and suggestions. I'm happy to continue\nbeing on the board and receiving editions of LJ to read and review, but I\nreally don't think I fit the profile of your regular readers. At any rate,\nthat is for you to decide, so here are my answers to your questions.\n\nI've been a subscriber for one year. I enjoy reading anything about Linux that I can learn from, and/or those\nthat inspire me to continue to use Linux and develop my Linux skills. Dans mon\ncase, even as a non-sophisticated Linux user, there are always articles in\nLJ that do this for me.\nMy favorite LJ memory is\nthe Privacy issue (May 2018). This is something I am concerned about,\nand the issue was well covered in the featured articles in the May 2018\nédition.\n\nSuSE 6.5 was my first distro. I bought it as a boxed set about 20 years ago, just to try this\nstrange operating system called Linux on my Macintosh PowerPC. C'était\ninteresting to try, but didn't have much of the kind of software I\nregularly used to keep me interested. But it planted the idea of using Linux\nin the back of my head until 2010, when I was ready to try Linux again in\nthe form of Ubuntu. I am now a fully converted Mac user, and I use mainly\nUbuntu and Mint on Mac computers.\n\nI am a member of a Linux user group in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Ses\ngreat that we have such a group in a city this small!\n\n\nBrian Chee\nI think I've been a subscriber from the\nvery beginning.\nI subscribe for the great tips and articles on Linux\ngoodness.\nMy favorite LJ memory is the first annual disk of The Whole Year.\nMy first distro was Debian.\n\nP.S. my student Warren Togami proposed an ICS499 Directed Studies project\nto me a while back to create a district called Fedora…I had trouble\nbelieving he could get it done in a single semester. It actually needed the\nsummer to get rolling in addition to the original semester.\n\nP.P.S. I also run mirror.ancl.hawaii.edu.\n\n\nGareth Evans\n\n\nPeter Connolly\nI've subscribed off and on since 1995. Mostly on.\nLove the regular columnists (e.g., Kyle, Dave, Reuven,…), the kernel\ngossip and the themed issues.\nGetting a bunch of free LJs at an SF conference and turning my geek friends\nsur LJ is my favorite LJ memory.\nI tried to get Yggdrasil Linux running in 1994, but it wasn't until Slackware\n3.0 in 1995 that I finally got a Linux distribution working.\n\n\nDoug Berg\nI've been a subscriber for 20+ years.\nI subscribe to Linux Journal\nfor the education. I always learn something new.\nThe issue about Asterisk sticks in my\nmind. I liked the idea of beating the phone companies. It felt liberating.\nI think SUSE was my first distro,\nbut then it was Red Hat, and then for long time it was Gentoo. Now it's\nKubuntu.\n\n\nSteve Langer, PhD Physics\nI've been a subscriber since late 1994.\nWhy: tech content from areas I'm not an expert in.\nFavorite memory: meeting Phil and Carlie at a UW-Seattle event around late\n1996.\nFirst distro: Tamu followed quickly by Slackware (Spring 1994).\n\nJohn Bales\n\nWhat a terrific way to celebrate LJ and the community that it spawned!\nI have bought or\nabonné à LJ since 1995.\nInitially, I subscribed for the\ncommunity, both the insights offered and the new knowledge conveyed.\nNowadays, I subscribe simply to support LJ's continued publication!\nMy favorite LJ memory is back in the day, searching bookstores,\nwaiting for the latest supply-constrained edition to appear, hoping it\nwould not sell out before I found my copy.\nMy first distro was Slackware circa mid-1994\nfor home use. Debian circa late-1995 on an IBM RS/6000 for a work-related\nproject, that I recall was fun torture!\n\n\nHans-Georg Esser\n\nI've had a subscription since 1997, and I've located, scanned and\nattached your renewal lettre (not email) from April 1998. I\ndiscovered your magazine and the similarly ancient German\nLinux-Magazin at the same time in a bookstore that targeted students\nof CS and other technical topics. Back then, the internet wasn't what it\nis today, and Linux information was rare. So after getting and reading\nand applying a couple copies of both magazines, I sent out my\nsubscription forms.\n\nWhy do I read LJ? Well, basically comes down to a different question\nof "why do I use Linux?" It all started in ca. 1994 when I was\nfrustrated with the comfort of TeXShell (a Turbo-Pascal-like integrated\neditor for LaTeX). At the university we had HP-UX workstations that\ncould display Emacs, shell and xdvi windows on the same screen! le\nMS-DOS experience was laughable, in comparison. One of my friends then\nhelped me install Slackware from 5.25" floppies and configure XFree86,\nand there you go: Emacs, shell, xdvi on my private PC. I later moved to\nRed Hat and SuSE Linux, much later Kubuntu.\n\nSince then, my relationship with Linux was transformed many times. je\nwrote some Linux and KDE books. In 2000, I was hired as an editor for\na Linux publication. In 2008, I started teaching Linux (and operating\nsystem principles) at a university as a freelance lecturer. je voulais\nto do that professionally, so I had to go back to university to get\nmy PhD (which I did via implementing and documenting ULIX, a teaching\noperating system loosely based on UNIX). Today I am a computer science\nprofessor with operating systems as my main teaching topic; juste à droite\nnow, I'm working on a Docker-based network computing lab for an advanced\nserver administration course. So…I got here because of Linux. Would\nthings have gone very differently if there was no Linux? Je ne sais pas.\nI sure was on an interesting track already, being a CS student in the\nearly 90s. But becoming a writer and a lecturer and a professor in a\nworld where all accessible machines run Windows? I am not so sure. Alors\nLinux surely helped a lot. And having access to good documentation\nhelped, too. Which is why I was, am and will remain an LJ subscriber.\n\nWhat was my best LJ moment? I cannot name a specific issue or\narticle,\nsince I've just been reading too much in the last years, but I guess my\nbest moment was when you said that publication would resume after I\nalready thought you gone for good in December 2017. I've had to say\ngood-bye to too many magazines (including my own: from 2000 to 2018\nI was the editor of EasyLinux magazine, which was discontinued half a\nyear ago and won't come back from the dead). So I wish you all the best\nand another 25 years or more—happy birthday!\n\n\nSion Williams\n\nI've been a subscriber for two years.\nLinux Journal has been a great source of information throughout my career,\nand so I wanted to give a little back. The breadth of topics satisfies both\nmy work and play inner-geek.\n\nMy favourite LJ memory is\nlearning that LJ got enough support from the community to keep doing what\nthey do best.\nMy first Linux-based distro would be Mint, but I was using FreeBSD in university long\nbefore then if we're talking *nix.\n\nAndy Jartz\nI have subscribed since 1995, when I met one of\nthe original publishers, Phil Hughes, at a Digital Equipment Users Group\nSymposium (DECUS) in Washington, DC, at the ice cream social. The bad memory\nof that conference was the first lunch served gave everyone who ate it food\npoisoning. The best memory was seeing Linus Torvalds speak and meeting him.\nI had annoyed Jon 'Maddog' Hall about DEC Ultrix print drivers so\nmany times that he remembered me on the elevator at the hotel. Sur le\nelevator, I told Jon I was planning on going to the panel discussion with\nLinus Torvalds instead of the OpenVMS story night (I was a VAX/VMS sysadmin at the time). Jon was concerned how many would show up, but he also\ntold me that afterward a group was taking Linus to the a local brew pub and\nthat I could come along and join them if I came. I attended the panel\ndiscussion and then headed with the group over to the brew pub. When all\nwas said and done, as Linus was leaving, I screamed out "Good bye. We\nlove famous people." I was several beers in at that point. Good times.\n\nMy first full distribution installed on a personal system was Linux Mint,\nthough I had been logging into various systems in my work life since 1995.\nI think I have subscribed to Linux Journal for as long as I have as there\nwas always an article or column that applied to something I was doing, even\nif what I was doing was not Linux-specific.\n\n\nGlenn Martin\nI've been a subscriber for one year,\nbut I had been picking up regularly from my local\nbookstore for years and following the site.\nYou've always been a source for some of the most interesting\narticles, often on things I didn't realize I'd need to know.\nMemory: I brought a copy to a LUG and was able to help out someone.\nFirst distro: Slackware, TBH before that I was FreeBSD, but slowly then\nmade it to RH (before Fedora) and Debian.\n\nPaul Archer\nI started subscribing\naround '97 or '98\nto keep up with developments in\nLinux and to support the magazine that supports Linux.\nMy favorite LJ memory is early on, getting each new issue and\nfeeling connected to the community.\nFirst distro was Slackware.\n\nJohn Lockard\nI've been a subscriber since: unknown.\nThe earliest physical issue I still have is\nIssue #120 2004 (April), but I know I have been a subscriber for quite a bit\nlonger.\nPourquoi? Parce que Linux Journal will present me with things to look\ninto that I\nwouldn't have normally stumbled upon on my own and interesting uses for\nother things Linux-related.\nFirst distribution I used is unknown. It was what was installed\non one of our servers at work. First distribution I installed, and used\npersonally, was Yggdrasil Linux.\n\nWally Kulecz\nI've been a subscriber\nsince the first or\nsecond year of the paper magazine.\nI subscribe for the good writing, good information, and for introducing me to Linux things I didn't\nknow about or never expected to actually work.\nMy favority memory is hard to say, but Shawn's article on hacking a cheap Android phone to\nmake it become a mini-WiFi tablet ended up being very useful.\nRed Hat 2 was my first distro. You bought the book that included a CDROM with the system,\nthen you struggled with getting Slip or PPP working with your modem and ISP\nto download updates.\n\n\nDale March\nI've been a subscriber since\nthe beginning. je\nstill have issue #1 around the house somewhere. Got it at work where there\nwas a small group of Linux users.\nI like the community, learning\nabout new stuff and articles on building skills or knowledge that I don't\nyet have.\n\nThere have been quite a few times where\nthe content was very timely and helped me out personally or at work. je\nthink the most memorable is the split from printed format—honestly at that\npoint I thought it was the end, but LJ is still here going strong.\nI used SLS in the\nbeginning. It came, as I recall, in a ~35 Mb tar file. I had to download\nthat at work where there was a fast internet, then split the tarball into\nsections that would fit on floppy disk so that I could get them home. Il\nwas quite a process over a week or so to get it all downloaded, split,\nre-assembled and untarred so I could begin install the process. It was all\nworth it once I had it running on a 16 mhz 386.\n\nI always look forward to the new issue, keep up the great work!\n\n\nJason Poole\n\nI started reading in August 1995 and subscribed shortly after that.\nI was just getting into Linux and was very excited to see that there were\nothers like me. I loved the articles and look forward to reading them,\neven to this day.\n\nThere are so many good memories of LJ, but I have to say that I really\nlooked forward to the hardware editions. This helped me find good\ncombinations of hardware to use to build really great machines. je dois\nsay that I really miss the printed magazine as well. I just loved being\nable to physically flip through and bookmark magazines. LJ was definitely\nmy favorite.\n\nMy first distro was Slackware that I was able to buy at Microcenter on CD.\n\n\nJose Manuel Garcia Sanchez\nI've been a subscriber since\n1998.\nI subscribe for the Linux topics. je suis\nfrom Spain, and in 1998, Linux was taking its first steps in my country.\nMy favorite LJ memory is opening my mailbox and finding the magazine\n(a physical mailbox, of course).\nFirst distro was Slackware 3.2.\n\n\nSteve Williams\n\nI've been a subscriber only for a couple of months! I've followed\nLinux Journal for years, but\nI never subscribed, which I regret!\n\nI've followed Doc Searls for years, so when I heard from him that Linux\nJournal was folding, then later that it would continue as an example of\nhow to treat subscribers with respect, I immediately subscribed!\n\n\nLJ has already been useful to me as I dived back into Linux recently:\nhttps://sbw.org/sfflinux.\n\nDoc's recent article "Where There's No Distance or Gravity" really knocked it\nout of the park for me.\n\nIn 1997 I set up a web site on my home server running Red Hat. C'était\nquickly hacked! It's now on a hosted server:\nhttp://mira.sbw.org.\n\n\nAndy Wills\n\nI've been a subscriber for less than one year.\nIt's a brilliant source of news and articles about free software\nMy favorite LJ memory is Doc Searls at #freenode live 2018.\nMy first distro was Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.\n\n\nJeff Sharpe\n\nI've subscribed on and off for 20 years (or so)—off the shelf as\noften as a subscription.\nEarly on I subscribed because of a broad desire to devour all things\nGNU/Linux. Later it\nwas more informative. Overall, though, I think it was the sense of\ncommunity by reading your journal that proved its best draw.\n\nMy favorite LJ memory: I read an article that Jon 'Maddog' Hall, while working at Digital\nEquipment Corporation, was donating hardware to Linus Torvalds (and team)\nto help get the kernel ported to Alpha. That exited me to no end (for some\nreason).\n\nI started with Yggdrasil Linux Oct/Nov 1995, but it was Slackware that I\nmust have installed dozens and dozens of times before I settled eventually\non Debian for the next decade.\n\nIn the mid-90s I was a database developer and administrator, working on\n(primarily) Digital and Sun server hardware (there was some mainframe work\nin there, but I try to forget that part of my life). First thing we did\nwas install GNU tools. The Un*x reality seemed like a dark-dirty\nsubculture of the IT world (to this junior geek)—one that drew my\nintérêt. Multi-threading, stability, multi-user—it had things that\nbarely (or didn't) work on Windows desktops or even some Un*x servers (of\nthe time). The first time I saw X run was in the basement of a friend, on a\nAIX box—it took my breath away. I was planning to try out Minix OS when\na peer suggested I look at GNU/Linux instead. I would like to say it was a\nsmooth adoption, but it wasn't—dozens of distros, new terminology,\nunfamiliar environments, frustrating configurations—I loved it. C'était\nlike porn or a drug to me. I learned a lot, and I look back on that time\nwith much fondness. It was the beginning of a long journey.\n\n\nAndrew Piziali\n\nI've subscribed for\n25 years, since the first issue\nto stay abreast of Linux.\nMy favorite memory is receiving my\nfirst issue of LJ and realizing that this open-source Unix was really going\nsomewhere! I deployed Linux workstations to replace Sun workstations at\nTexas Instruments at that time, saving thousands of dollars. j'étais aussi\ncharacterizing the Intel Pentium microprocessor, assisting Linus with\ndetails of Linux TLB handling. Fun times!\nFirst distro was Soft Landing Systems\n(SLS).\n\n\nNick Ivanov\n\nI've been a subscriber for about one year.\nThere are two main reasons why I am a subscriber of Linux Journal.\nFirst, I am a digital freedom supporter. When I learned that WikiLeaks\nrevealed that the LJ subscribers were profiled, I immediately became one. je\nwas born in the Soviet Union and grew up in a society severely damaged by\nthe lack of privacy, profiling, censorship, the absence of freedom, and\nconstant monitoring by the government (through your own neighbors, who were\nalso scared). My parents and grandparents have always been afraid of\nexpressing their opinion or "doing something wrong" because they constantly\nexperienced the "watchful eye" of the oppressing government. Being raised\nin this toxic environment, I promised to myself to never be afraid of being\nwho I am, expressing my opinion, and decide for myself what to do and what\nto read. I am a crypto-punk, but not a digital anarchist. Although I would\nhave never done what Snowden or Manning did, I strongly believe that\nfreedom and privacy are superior to national security or corporate\ninterests. I believe that freedom and privacy, in the long-term perspective,\nare the main contributors to secure government and thriving businesses. Comme\na person born in the USSR, I also witnessed the deteriorating power of\ninternal espionage, profiling, privacy violation, censorship and freedom of\nspeech. It was not Snowden who undermined the national security of the\nÉtats Unis. It was the NSA who did it! The editorial opinion of Linux\nJournal seems to be close to mine, so this is the first reason why I\nsubscribed.\n\nSecond, I saw the word BLOCKCHAIN on the cover of one of the issues of\nLJ. I am a graduate PhD student researching blockchain, and I hoard all\nbeyond-hype information about blockchain. Also, I am a full-time desktop\nLinux user, so I determined that LJ could be helpful for my research or\noptimization of my workflow as a Linux user.\n\nMy favorite LJ memory: I liked the series of articles about ncurses programming. I always wanted\nto learn it, but existing tutorials looked too time-consuming for me.\n\nMy first distro was Mandrake Linux 7.0 on four CD disks with kernel\n2.2.14-15. (Jeez, I\nstill remember the version of my first kernel!) I immediately fell in love\nwith it, and I am still in love with Linux.\n\n\nJorge Kobeh\n\nI think I've subscribed for 15 years or so.\n\nI subscribe because I use Linux every day, in the servers I manage and in my personal desktop\nand laptop computers, and I like to know what's going on with Linux\ndevelopment.\n\nI have learned a lot of new things reading LJ, and I have helped friends\nsharing some articles about open source apps, including ones that work also\nin other OSes.\n\nI am a good friend of Miguel de Icaza, and he sent me maybe 10 or 12\ndiskettes with Linux and helped me over the phone to install it (version\n0.x). After that, I think I bought the Yggdrasil distribution. Later I\nswitched to Red Hat, then to Debian, and right now, I use CentOS on the\nservers, and after a couple years of using Mint, I'm back using Ubuntu\nMate on my personal computers, including a couple Mac computers.\n\nThanks for a great magazine and congratulations on your first 25 years.\n\n\nDirk Szameitat\nI'm really glad for your 25th anniversary and looking forward to the next\n25!\nWhile I'm a LJ newbie, I've used Linux for quite some time.\nI've been a subscriber for around one year.\nI subscribe because I really love Linux, and I find it very important to support a publication\ncovering this topic. Besides that, LJ provides a good addition to the German\nLinux Magazin, which I subscribe to as well.\n\nMy favorite LJ memory is reading the first issue after I subscribed and discovering that Glyn Moody is an\nauthor, as I loved the Rebel Code book from him.\n\nMy first distro? That would be S.u.S.E 4.2 in 1996.\n\n\n\nClick to rate this post!\r\n \r\n [Total: 0 Average: 0]","paragraphs":["Nous avons demandé LJ abonnés d'écrire et de nous parler de\neux-mêmes, nous pourrions donc les présenter dans notre numéro du 25e anniversaire en tant que\nfaçon de les remercier pour leur fidélité au fil des ans.\nLa réponse était si\naccablants, nous n’avons pu inclure que quelques-uns d’entre eux dans la question, mais\nContinuez à lire pour voir toutes les réponses ici et pour en savoir plus sur\nvos collègues lecteurs.

The concept remained, that each\nscreen ran its own slideshow, but it was enhanced so all slideshows ran photos\nfrom a set theme for a period of a few minutes.","This is where the power of Linux and particularly X Windows steps in. It\nencapsulates almost everything I love about Linux over any other OS. le\ngranularity of control over the hardware, wide hardware support, software\nthat spans generations of hardware and extensive and powerful networking\ncapability.","Each column of four screens was driven by a PC with two dual-head videocards,\nwith all six PCs being served images from a Linux file server. The server ran\n24 processes, each serving photos to its respective screen. The result was\nmesmerising!\nThrough the extensive control set of X11 and VESA commands, I could even\npower manage all the screens to coincide with the gallery opening hours.","Having free access to a lot of old PC hardware, I had to find a version of\nLinux of the same era. I settled with Suse 9 running the rudimentary TWM X\nWindows Manager. Nvidia still had drivers available! Using scavenged\nmaterials, I recall only spending about $100 on hardware fastenings and\nelectrical power boards.","The server was multi-homed, meaning the screen driving PCs sat on their own\ntrusted network, while the server was also on a less trusted network\nallowing remote systems administration.","The Videowall continued to be used post exhibition for a few years as a\nConference Information Board for locally held events.\nOverall, it was a great project for applied Linux.","Jose Schiavon\nI've been a subscriber since 2000, but I started\nen train de lire LJ in 1998.\nI subscribed because I didn't want to miss an issue, because I was buying\nthem from the magazine stand.\nThere are too many favorite memories, but the one that comes\nto my mind is the email sent out in January last year with the\nannonce de LJ 2.0. Way to go!\nThe first distribution I installed was Slackware 2.1 in 1996. The\ninstallation CD came from the book Build a Linux Internet Server par\nGeorge Eckel, and since then, I have used several other distros.\nHappy 25th birthday!","Rex Guinn\nI've subscribed for 24 years.\nI really like to read the articles and then follow along.\nI like Reuven Lerner's articles, Dave Taylor's and Kyle Rankin.\nMy favorite articles were by Shawn Powers on his bird watching.\nSlackware, I think, back in the 1990s was my first distro. I had one of the original laptops that\nonly had a diskette drive and a 10Gig hd. I installed Slackware on it with\ndiskettes, it took three tries.\nI used it to do a newsletter for our motorcycle club with tex.

I got some sort of coupon,\nfrom inside the magazine that I could fill out with my details, and I sent it off.\nI still retain the in print versions I have gotten over the years in my\nlibrary. It's not very Marie Kondo-like, but I have good memories of learning new\ntechnologies in there.\nReuven's first article on Ruby on Rails is my favorite memory.

Most probably it was SuSE.\nCurrently, I'm on Manjaro after a few\nyears of using KUbuntu and some others.","Jarom\nI started subscribing to Linux Journal in 2000.\nI subscribe because I am interested in what is happening in Linux.\nIt was so cool to use Slackware and a bunch of floppy drives to get a\nmulti-user multi-tasking UNIX-like operating system on my PC. I was much\nhappier using Red Hat 4.2 on a CDROM however.\nMy favorite Linux Journal memory is when it came back from the dead.","Chandler Wilkerson\nI've been a subscriber since some point\nin 1997. (I had to let go of my paper back issues long ago.)\nI continue to subscribe to LJ because of the relevance of its focus to my\nown professional and hobby use of Linux. As I see each new cover for the\nfirst time, more often than not, I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the focus\nof the new issue aligns with some topic I'd very recently either unearthed,\nor meant to delve into, but had not had time for.","I have many great memories of LJ over the years. One that amused me was\nthe tongue-in-cheek backlash against Marcel Gagné's Cooking with Linux\ncolumn. I always appreciated his lighthearted style and use of recipes as\na metaphor for installing software—prescient, given the rise of automation\ntools based on, yes, recipes and cookbooks.","I suppose unpacking tarballs to install software was always near to my\nheart considering I started with Slakware (from the 1994 InfoMagic CDROM\nset, still hanging on my wall).","Here's to many more years!","Peter Teuben\nI've been a subscriber\nsince the first stapled\nun.\nIt's just a fun read\nMy favorites were the "best of" articles.\nMy first distro was Slackware, 1994/5, on a\n386SX.","Prior to 1994, I always used VMS and UNIX-based systems professionally,\nand when I booted Slackware on a 386SX (with way too little memory), I\nwas flabbergasted when I saw the familiar X-terminal in the twm window\nmanager. It took minutes to load and was quite useless, but the fact\nthat at home I could run this, I was sold. I still had my 3b1 (an\nAT&T box with a 10 MHz 68010 processor). I immediately put a 486DX2-66\nbox together, which was the state of the art at the time, and ran my\nbenchmarks, outperforming my Sun3 and even Sun4 at the office. Pour\nsome professional work, I keep a list of benchmarks of an N-body\ncode. Both the 16MHz 386SX and the 68010 did not have a floating point\nprocessor and ran this particular code in 87" and 49" resp. A Sun-4/60\nwould run this in 1", but the 486 in 0.093", more than 10 times\nplus rapide. For comparison, one of my modern desktops would run this in\n0.00030", about 300 times the speed of the 486.","I can also add that I converted our group from Solaris to Linux. nous\nstill run Linux on all of our desktops, although quite a few of my\ncolleagues have switched to the almost-UNIX laptops that Apple sells.","Kosmas Chatzimichalis\nI've been a subscriber since 2009 for the interesting articles and many\nopportunities to discover.\nToo many favorites to put here—there's just always interesting articles and ideas to\nexplore after reading them in Linux Journal.

I thought "why not install UNIX at home\nand learn it from the inside out?" I was hooked.\nTwenty-six years later, I'm still\nhooked. I was a regular subscriber for one-year stints, and then suffered\nà travers le Linux Journal blackout.

Here, I'll try this one from\nmemory, SLS 0.99pl45. I believe the pl stood for "patch level". My first\nrequirement: obtain about 25 3.25" floppies for the download, about 15 of\nwhich were for X alone.","Ray Foulkes","Above is me, Ray Foulkes, having fun on holidays. I am 73 years old and\nhave been a Linux Journal subscriber for er, I think since the beginning of\ntime (that is, I have forgotten). The earliest email I have from you is April\n2007. Prior to my retirement 15 years ago, I was a VP of a large\norganization in Europe. My remit was entirely technical and had been the\nwhole of my career in computing (since 1969). Why do I still subscribe?\nPrimarily, I like your style, and I like to keep up to date with what is\ngoing on in the Linux world.","I am however a Linux user rather than a Linux developer or experimenter. je\nhave seen in various magazines the "desktops" of various readers. They all\nlook beautifully neat. To illustrate my use of Linux (and other OSes), I\nthought that I would send you an image of the reality of my desktop as\nopposed to the marketing version, and then explain my use of Linux.","The two large screens are one of three OpenSuse "desktops". The one on the\nleft is showing my "domestic" desktop, which is Linux Mint (a somewhat old\nversion) running under VMware Workstation on the OpenSUSE host. There I do\nmy email and fun browsing (like now), but normally it (and the other large\nscreen) contains several windows of the SEGGER development environment,\nKfind, Kate, Kompare, Ultraedit (sometimes), plus various other technical\ntools as well as a couple terminal windows (for midnight commander, etc.).\nThat is just as cluttered as the rest of my physical desktop.","The portable to the right-hand side is (close your eyes here) a Windows 10\nmachine for doing those things that even my VMware Windows image cannot do\n(such as deal with obscure USB devices). It also does things that Linux cannot\ndo (such as run technical programs written and supported only on Windows).","Just peeping around the end of the large screen to the right is an EEEpc\n901 (upgraded EEprom) running LXDE, which I take with me on journeys if I\nthink someone is likely to steal my PC (good luck with selling an EEEpc).","The large telephone is an IP extension to my friend's exchange in his house\nin the UK. I failed to mention that the above setup is in France, by the\nway. Si\nyou look carefully, you will see bits of electronics with wires scattered\nsur. These are the nRF52 development cards (and some targets, but too\nsmall to see). I am developing software using the large machines for these\nlittle radios that contain an ARM Cortex processor running at 64MHz,\n1Mbyte EEprom and 256Kbyte RAM together with the 2.4GHz radio, and no, they\nare not running Linux before you ask. The box at the back between the\nscreens is an oscilloscope (only runs on Windows though), which I use for\nchecking the digital signals coming from the nRF52s.","My electronics desk (just as cluttered) sits to the left of this one with\nthe usual array of magnifying glasses, solder station, wires, chips and so\nsur.","So, by preference, I am a Linux rather than a Windows user. Although you\ncan see a pretty picture on the right-hand screen, I really don't give much\nof a hoot about how pretty my desktop looks or whether windows fold as I\nclose them. Although I keep my machines fully patched up, I try very hard\nne pas to upgrade to some new version. My desire is stability, not just in the\ntechnical sense of not crashing, but in the human sense of not having to\nlearn yet another way of doing something, searching menus that some cretin\nthinks should be shuffled, missing facilities that someone thinks\n"simplifies my life", banning me from putting things where I like on my\nscreen desktop etc., etc., etc. I am not totally immune to improvements, but\nthe gain has to be worth the pain. After all, in my career I have learned\nto use at least 20 text editors, so learning another one should be easy.\nHowever, I have a "day job" so to speak, so I will stick with what I know,\nMerci. I used to use the GNU toolchain (I still do in a sense since SEGGER\nuses the GNU compiler) but the SEGGER development environment saves me from\nhaving 20 windows open when debugging two nRF52 simultaneously (the penalty\nof developing radio software). SEGGER took a lot less time to learn than\nGNU compiler, linker, debugger and speeded up my development so learning it\nwas worthwhile. I had already confronted Eclipse and, like it's name,\ndecided that it was obscure(d).","During my career I was somewhat guilty of pushing Linux long before it was\nready for prime time. I tried a few times but my R&D team routinely came\nback with the "you gotta be kidding" result. I have happily watched its\namazing progress, both through using it and following its development in\nthe press, such as in Linux Journal. I started off (if I faintly recall) by\nbuying a boxed Suse, which I feel has been one of the most stable Linux\ndistributions over its lifetime.","Donc là vous l'avez. You now know one of your loyal readers just a little\nbit better—not a "no Windows" person, but still a Linux advocate.","Prof. Jean-François Boisvieux\nI've been a subscriber from the beginning, I used Linux when I could install a\nSlackware (I think) with two diskettes as far as I remember.\nLJ was the reference to learn how to use and to correct errors.\nIt's interesting, well written, inspiring.","Pierluigi\nI believe that, despite being a loyal subscriber for so many years, this is\nthe first time I've written to LJ.\nAfter 25 years, however, I thought it was about time.","Well, if I recall correctly I've been a LJ subscriber since 1995\nor 1996.

I was a "power"\nMS-DOS user at the time, but frequently used the UNIX computer labs in the\ncomputer science department, especially to write data analysis programs for\nmy physics labs. I wanted the same power on my PC at home. I asked around\non the Usenet newsgroups and someone recommended this new thing called\n"Linux". It was free and I could run it on my '386 computer. I paid someone\nto mail me a stack of 3 1/2-inch floppies with the Softlanding Linux\nSystem (SLS) distribution installer. At the time, SLS advertised itself as\na "Gentle Touchdowns for DOS Bailouts" and it certainly was easy enough for\nme.","That was my first introduction to Linux. Linux was still pretty rough; nous\ndidn't have kernel modules in the pre-1.0 days. If you wanted to add\nsupport for a sound card or floppy tape drive, you had to compile a custom\nkernel.

I'm still\nrunning Linux (Fedora 29) and loving it.","I have written or contributed to dozens of open-source software programs\nsince the 1990s, but the one I'll be known for is FreeDOS, a free software/open source software implementation of DOS. And it's interesting to note\nthat FreeDOS would not have happened without Linux. In 1994, when it seemed\ncertain Microsoft would stop developing MS-DOS, I thought, "If people could\ncome together to create a free version of UNIX (Linux), I'm sure we could do\nthe same with DOS (FreeDOS)."

Now it's\nKubuntu.","Steve Langer, PhD Physics\nI've been a subscriber since late 1994.\nWhy: tech content from areas I'm not an expert in.\nFavorite memory: meeting Phil and Carlie at a UW-Seattle event around late\n1996.\nFirst distro: Tamu followed quickly by Slackware (Spring 1994).","John Bales","What a terrific way to celebrate LJ and the community that it spawned!\nI have bought or\nabonné à LJ since 1995.\nInitially, I subscribed for the\ncommunity, both the insights offered and the new knowledge conveyed.\nNowadays, I subscribe simply to support LJ's continued publication!\nMy favorite LJ memory is back in the day, searching bookstores,\nwaiting for the latest supply-constrained edition to appear, hoping it\nwould not sell out before I found my copy.\nMy first distro was Slackware circa mid-1994\nfor home use. Debian circa late-1995 on an IBM RS/6000 for a work-related\nproject, that I recall was fun torture!","Hans-Georg Esser","I've had a subscription since 1997, and I've located, scanned and\nattached your renewal lettre (not email) from April 1998. I\ndiscovered your magazine and the similarly ancient German\nLinux-Magazin at the same time in a bookstore that targeted students\nof CS and other technical topics. Back then, the internet wasn't what it\nis today, and Linux information was rare. So after getting and reading\nand applying a couple copies of both magazines, I sent out my\nsubscription forms.","Why do I read LJ? Well, basically comes down to a different question\nof "why do I use Linux?" It all started in ca. 1994 when I was\nfrustrated with the comfort of TeXShell (a Turbo-Pascal-like integrated\neditor for LaTeX). At the university we had HP-UX workstations that\ncould display Emacs, shell and xdvi windows on the same screen! le\nMS-DOS experience was laughable, in comparison. One of my friends then\nhelped me install Slackware from 5.25" floppies and configure XFree86,\nand there you go: Emacs, shell, xdvi on my private PC. I later moved to\nRed Hat and SuSE Linux, much later Kubuntu.","Since then, my relationship with Linux was transformed many times. je\nwrote some Linux and KDE books. In 2000, I was hired as an editor for\na Linux publication. In 2008, I started teaching Linux (and operating\nsystem principles) at a university as a freelance lecturer. je voulais\nto do that professionally, so I had to go back to university to get\nmy PhD (which I did via implementing and documenting ULIX, a teaching\noperating system loosely based on UNIX). Today I am a computer science\nprofessor with operating systems as my main teaching topic; juste à droite\nnow, I'm working on a Docker-based network computing lab for an advanced\nserver administration course. So…I got here because of Linux. Would\nthings have gone very differently if there was no Linux? Je ne sais pas.\nI sure was on an interesting track already, being a CS student in the\nearly 90s. But becoming a writer and a lecturer and a professor in a\nworld where all accessible machines run Windows? I am not so sure. Alors\nLinux surely helped a lot. And having access to good documentation\nhelped, too. Which is why I was, am and will remain an LJ subscriber.","What was my best LJ moment? I cannot name a specific issue or\narticle,\nsince I've just been reading too much in the last years, but I guess my\nbest moment was when you said that publication would resume after I\nalready thought you gone for good in December 2017. I've had to say\ngood-bye to too many magazines (including my own: from 2000 to 2018\nI was the editor of EasyLinux magazine, which was discontinued half a\nyear ago and won't come back from the dead). So I wish you all the best\nand another 25 years or more—happy birthday!","Sion Williams","I've been a subscriber for two years.\nLinux Journal has been a great source of information throughout my career,\nand so I wanted to give a little back. The breadth of topics satisfies both\nmy work and play inner-geek.","My favourite LJ memory is\nlearning that LJ got enough support from the community to keep doing what\nthey do best.\nMy first Linux-based distro would be Mint, but I was using FreeBSD in university long\nbefore then if we're talking *nix.","Andy Jartz\nI have subscribed since 1995, when I met one of\nthe original publishers, Phil Hughes, at a Digital Equipment Users Group\nSymposium (DECUS) in Washington, DC, at the ice cream social. The bad memory\nof that conference was the first lunch served gave everyone who ate it food\npoisoning. The best memory was seeing Linus Torvalds speak and meeting him.\nI had annoyed Jon 'Maddog' Hall about DEC Ultrix print drivers so\nmany times that he remembered me on the elevator at the hotel. Sur le\nelevator, I told Jon I was planning on going to the panel discussion with\nLinus Torvalds instead of the OpenVMS story night (I was a VAX/VMS sysadmin at the time). Jon was concerned how many would show up, but he also\ntold me that afterward a group was taking Linus to the a local brew pub and\nthat I could come along and join them if I came. I attended the panel\ndiscussion and then headed with the group over to the brew pub. When all\nwas said and done, as Linus was leaving, I screamed out "Good bye. We\nlove famous people." I was several beers in at that point. Good times.","My first full distribution installed on a personal system was Linux Mint,\nthough I had been logging into various systems in my work life since 1995.\nI think I have subscribed to Linux Journal for as long as I have as there\nwas always an article or column that applied to something I was doing, even\nif what I was doing was not Linux-specific.","Glenn Martin\nI've been a subscriber for one year,\nbut I had been picking up regularly from my local\nbookstore for years and following the site.\nYou've always been a source for some of the most interesting\narticles, often on things I didn't realize I'd need to know.\nMemory: I brought a copy to a LUG and was able to help out someone.\nFirst distro: Slackware, TBH before that I was FreeBSD, but slowly then\nmade it to RH (before Fedora) and Debian.","Paul Archer\nI started subscribing\naround '97 or '98\nto keep up with developments in\nLinux and to support the magazine that supports Linux.\nMy favorite LJ memory is early on, getting each new issue and\nfeeling connected to the community.\nFirst distro was Slackware.","John Lockard\nI've been a subscriber since: unknown.\nThe earliest physical issue I still have is\nIssue #120 2004 (April), but I know I have been a subscriber for quite a bit\nlonger.\nPourquoi? Parce que Linux Journal will present me with things to look\ninto that I\nwouldn't have normally stumbled upon on my own and interesting uses for\nother things Linux-related.\nFirst distribution I used is unknown. It was what was installed\non one of our servers at work. First distribution I installed, and used\npersonally, was Yggdrasil Linux.","Wally Kulecz\nI've been a subscriber\nsince the first or\nsecond year of the paper magazine.\nI subscribe for the good writing, good information, and for introducing me to Linux things I didn't\nknow about or never expected to actually work.\nMy favority memory is hard to say, but Shawn's article on hacking a cheap Android phone to\nmake it become a mini-WiFi tablet ended up being very useful.\nRed Hat 2 was my first distro. You bought the book that included a CDROM with the system,\nthen you struggled with getting Slip or PPP working with your modem and ISP\nto download updates.","Dale March\nI've been a subscriber since\nthe beginning. je\nstill have issue #1 around the house somewhere. Got it at work where there\nwas a small group of Linux users.\nI like the community, learning\nabout new stuff and articles on building skills or knowledge that I don't\nyet have.","There have been quite a few times where\nthe content was very timely and helped me out personally or at work. je\nthink the most memorable is the split from printed format—honestly at that\npoint I thought it was the end, but LJ is still here going strong.\nI used SLS in the\nbeginning. It came, as I recall, in a ~35 Mb tar file. I had to download\nthat at work where there was a fast internet, then split the tarball into\nsections that would fit on floppy disk so that I could get them home. Il\nwas quite a process over a week or so to get it all downloaded, split,\nre-assembled and untarred so I could begin install the process. It was all\nworth it once I had it running on a 16 mhz 386.","I always look forward to the new issue, keep up the great work!","Jason Poole","I started reading in August 1995 and subscribed shortly after that.\nI was just getting into Linux and was very excited to see that there were\nothers like me. I loved the articles and look forward to reading them,\neven to this day.","There are so many good memories of LJ, but I have to say that I really\nlooked forward to the hardware editions. This helped me find good\ncombinations of hardware to use to build really great machines. je dois\nsay that I really miss the printed magazine as well. I just loved being\nable to physically flip through and bookmark magazines. LJ was definitely\nmy favorite.","My first distro was Slackware that I was able to buy at Microcenter on CD.","Jose Manuel Garcia Sanchez\nI've been a subscriber since\n1998.\nI subscribe for the Linux topics. je suis\nfrom Spain, and in 1998, Linux was taking its first steps in my country.\nMy favorite LJ memory is opening my mailbox and finding the magazine\n(a physical mailbox, of course).\nFirst distro was Slackware 3.2.","Steve Williams","I've been a subscriber only for a couple of months! I've followed\nLinux Journal for years, but\nI never subscribed, which I regret!","I've followed Doc Searls for years, so when I heard from him that Linux\nJournal was folding, then later that it would continue as an example of\nhow to treat subscribers with respect, I immediately subscribed!","LJ has already been useful to me as I dived back into Linux recently:\nhttps://sbw.org/sfflinux.","Doc's recent article "Where There's No Distance or Gravity" really knocked it\nout of the park for me.","In 1997 I set up a web site on my home server running Red Hat. C'était\nquickly hacked! It's now on a hosted server:\nhttp://mira.sbw.org.","Andy Wills","I've been a subscriber for less than one year.\nIt's a brilliant source of news and articles about free software\nMy favorite LJ memory is Doc Searls at #freenode live 2018.\nMy first distro was Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.","Jeff Sharpe","I've subscribed on and off for 20 years (or so)—off the shelf as\noften as a subscription.\nEarly on I subscribed because of a broad desire to devour all things\nGNU/Linux. Later it\nwas more informative. Overall, though, I think it was the sense of\ncommunity by reading your journal that proved its best draw.","My favorite LJ memory: I read an article that Jon 'Maddog' Hall, while working at Digital\nEquipment Corporation, was donating hardware to Linus Torvalds (and team)\nto help get the kernel ported to Alpha. That exited me to no end (for some\nreason).","I started with Yggdrasil Linux Oct/Nov 1995, but it was Slackware that I\nmust have installed dozens and dozens of times before I settled eventually\non Debian for the next decade.","In the mid-90s I was a database developer and administrator, working on\n(primarily) Digital and Sun server hardware (there was some mainframe work\nin there, but I try to forget that part of my life). First thing we did\nwas install GNU tools. The Un*x reality seemed like a dark-dirty\nsubculture of the IT world (to this junior geek)—one that drew my\nintérêt. Multi-threading, stability, multi-user—it had things that\nbarely (or didn't) work on Windows desktops or even some Un*x servers (of\nthe time). The first time I saw X run was in the basement of a friend, on a\nAIX box—it took my breath away. I was planning to try out Minix OS when\na peer suggested I look at GNU/Linux instead. I would like to say it was a\nsmooth adoption, but it wasn't—dozens of distros, new terminology,\nunfamiliar environments, frustrating configurations—I loved it. C'était\nlike porn or a drug to me. I learned a lot, and I look back on that time\nwith much fondness. It was the beginning of a long journey.","Andrew Piziali","I've subscribed for\n25 years, since the first issue\nto stay abreast of Linux.\nMy favorite memory is receiving my\nfirst issue of LJ and realizing that this open-source Unix was really going\nsomewhere! I deployed Linux workstations to replace Sun workstations at\nTexas Instruments at that time, saving thousands of dollars. j'étais aussi\ncharacterizing the Intel Pentium microprocessor, assisting Linus with\ndetails of Linux TLB handling. Fun times!\nFirst distro was Soft Landing Systems\n(SLS).","Nick Ivanov","I've been a subscriber for about one year.\nThere are two main reasons why I am a subscriber of Linux Journal.\nFirst, I am a digital freedom supporter. When I learned that WikiLeaks\nrevealed that the LJ subscribers were profiled, I immediately became one. je\nwas born in the Soviet Union and grew up in a society severely damaged by\nthe lack of privacy, profiling, censorship, the absence of freedom, and\nconstant monitoring by the government (through your own neighbors, who were\nalso scared). My parents and grandparents have always been afraid of\nexpressing their opinion or "doing something wrong" because they constantly\nexperienced the "watchful eye" of the oppressing government. Being raised\nin this toxic environment, I promised to myself to never be afraid of being\nwho I am, expressing my opinion, and decide for myself what to do and what\nto read. I am a crypto-punk, but not a digital anarchist. Although I would\nhave never done what Snowden or Manning did, I strongly believe that\nfreedom and privacy are superior to national security or corporate\ninterests. I believe that freedom and privacy, in the long-term perspective,\nare the main contributors to secure government and thriving businesses. Comme\na person born in the USSR, I also witnessed the deteriorating power of\ninternal espionage, profiling, privacy violation, censorship and freedom of\nspeech. It was not Snowden who undermined the national security of the\nÉtats Unis. It was the NSA who did it! The editorial opinion of Linux\nJournal seems to be close to mine, so this is the first reason why I\nsubscribed.","Second, I saw the word BLOCKCHAIN on the cover of one of the issues of\nLJ. I am a graduate PhD student researching blockchain, and I hoard all\nbeyond-hype information about blockchain. Also, I am a full-time desktop\nLinux user, so I determined that LJ could be helpful for my research or\noptimization of my workflow as a Linux user.","My favorite LJ memory: I liked the series of articles about ncurses programming. I always wanted\nto learn it, but existing tutorials looked too time-consuming for me.","My first distro was Mandrake Linux 7.0 on four CD disks with kernel\n2.2.14-15. (Jeez, I\nstill remember the version of my first kernel!) I immediately fell in love\nwith it, and I am still in love with Linux.","Jorge Kobeh","I think I've subscribed for 15 years or so.","I subscribe because I use Linux every day, in the servers I manage and in my personal desktop\nand laptop computers, and I like to know what's going on with Linux\ndevelopment.","I have learned a lot of new things reading LJ, and I have helped friends\nsharing some articles about open source apps, including ones that work also\nin other OSes.","I am a good friend of Miguel de Icaza, and he sent me maybe 10 or 12\ndiskettes with Linux and helped me over the phone to install it (version\n0.x). After that, I think I bought the Yggdrasil distribution. Later I\nswitched to Red Hat, then to Debian, and right now, I use CentOS on the\nservers, and after a couple years of using Mint, I'm back using Ubuntu\nMate on my personal computers, including a couple Mac computers.","Thanks for a great magazine and congratulations on your first 25 years.","Dirk Szameitat\nI'm really glad for your 25th anniversary and looking forward to the next\n25!\nWhile I'm a LJ newbie, I've used Linux for quite some time.\nI've been a subscriber for around one year.\nI subscribe because I really love Linux, and I find it very important to support a publication\ncovering this topic. Besides that, LJ provides a good addition to the German\nLinux Magazin, which I subscribe to as well.","My favorite LJ memory is reading the first issue after I subscribed and discovering that Glyn Moody is an\nauthor, as I loved the Rebel Code book from him.","My first distro? That would be S.u.S.E 4.2 in 1996.","Click to rate this post!\n \n [Total: 0 Average: 0]"],"content_blocks":[{"id":"text-1","type":"text","heading":"","plain_text":"Nous avons demandé LJ abonnés d'écrire et de nous parler de\neux-mêmes, nous pourrions donc les présenter dans notre numéro du 25e anniversaire en tant que\nfaçon de les remercier pour leur fidélité au fil des ans.\nLa réponse était si\naccablants, nous n’avons pu inclure que quelques-uns d’entre eux dans la question, mais\nContinuez à lire pour voir toutes les réponses ici et pour en savoir plus sur\nvos collègues lecteurs.
