that -funroll-all-loops gentoo meme was accurate at the time, particularly the stereotype of a lot of gentoo's userbase being former mandrake users obsessed with optimized packages

i remember mandrake i was fool enough to install that on a laptop once, under the logic that it came with more packages than red hat 5.x did, and more packages = better i was a very sad panda when i discovered that the documentation was written by someone who spoke neither french, nor english

this was long enough ago that the documentation was literally a paperback book inside of the shrinkwrapped package the internet was so slow that buying linux in a store was A Thing

you never know maybe red hat's vigorous and customer-focused corporate culture will take over the decaying husk of ibm lol no i can't even finish this sentence reality: the big red hat campuses in raleigh and boston empty out, six thousand new staff added at ibm bangalore

I assume IBM looked at how much they were paying Red Hat to maintain Linux on obsolete platforms like POWER and z/Architecture and decided it would be cheaper to just outright buy Red Hat.

RIP RHEL, we'll miss you but gently caress systemd for real, it's a great init system glued to lovely unnecessary replacements for getty, mount, dhcp, dns, dbus (which already sucks) and who the gently caress knows what else by now
