Mission Accomplished!
April 21, 2006 | 8:10 amWell, some 3 Months back, Dad bought me an 80 CD Capacity CD Pouch. And, I vowed to fill it with Linux CDs. Fully. To the Brim. Only Linux. All 80 CDs. And, today morning, I have accomplished it! Man, doesn’t it feel wonderful, having so many distros, most of which you’d never use!:DAnyway, here’s the boring list of Distros I have :
- Gnoppix
- SimplyMEPIS
- Knoppix 3.9
- Ubuntu 5.1 LiveCD
- aLinux 12.6 LiveCD
- GNUStep 0.9.4.2 LiveCD
- Fedora Core 4
- FSBIE - Variant of FreeBSD LiveCD
- PC-BSD 1.0 RC2
- Ubuntu Linux 5.1
- SuSE 9.1
- Mandriva 2006
- Mono-Live CD
- FreeBSD
- PCLinux 0.9.2
- Looking Glass 3D LiveCD 2.30
- Slackware
- Edubuntu 5.10
- Knoppix 4.0
- SuSE 10
- Gentoo 2005.1
- Gentoo 2006.1 Live+Install CD
- Fedora Core 5
- Damn Small Linux
- WinLinux
Well, If you’re still with me, know that I lied : I filled all 80 of them only because I have two copies of SimplyMEPIS. So, I actually have 1 Slot still left, but can’t seem to find any Single CD Distro to fill it up. Any Ideas guys ? Only significant distro I’m missing is Debian, but, I really don’t want it…. And, KUbuntu, but I’ve already got Ubuntu and KDE Seperately, so it won’t count, right ?

Man, you’re a Gaurang in the making.
If you do not know who Gaurang is, he was my partner at the Imagine Cup and also for my Final Year project.
He’s the only one in our college who uses Linux as his primary OS …
He downloads distros by the tonne …
Man, you don’t want to be like him …
Anyways, diverting some more traffic to his website … http://www.gaurang.cjb.net

Hehe.. I have no intention of using Linux as my
Yuvi Panda | April 21, 2006 | 10:32 pmHehe.. I have no intention of using Linux as my Primary OS… Atleast, not until Mono is complete:D
And, Man, in that site : ASM ? :O
And, for me, I didn’t have anything to download during the nights, and during the Exams, I didn’t have enough Time to hunt around for *useful* downloads:D So, After my first Revision, I just went to distrowatch.com and got the latest versions of all distros I could find there:D
Now, as I have more Time, I’ll be more Selective. But, still having a hard time finding good ones:D
Yes ... We have had the wrath of assembly programming in
Saurabh | April 21, 2006 | 10:53 pmYes …
We have had the wrath of assembly programming in third year.
Which is pretty interesting once you get past all the registers and stuff …
Maybe we had good teachers, but assembly is fun.
Though, Xp doesn’t let you run most of the programs … Have to use VMWare with Win98 on it.
Anyways …
Take care (and don’t turn into a Gaurang V2 !!!)

Hehe. I too sorta like ASM, because it's soo much
Yuvi Panda | April 22, 2006 | 7:42 amHehe. I too sorta like ASM, because it’s soo much like IL. But, maybe IL doesn’t have Objects, so, I might not like it that much:D
Huhm, sorry people. That was a mistake: I meant to
Yuvi Panda | May 9, 2006 | 5:28 pmHuhm, sorry people. That was a mistake: I meant to say that since ASM doesn’t have Objects, I might not like it that much:D

YuviSense: Kid in Tech » Blog Archive » Linux Experts step in: April is my Linux Month (1 month LinuxDash) | March 25, 2007 | 3:45 am[…] But, there is a problem: I know next to nothing about Linux. Honestly. I do have 25 distros at home, but most are already outdated, even though they’re just about 3 months old. So, could some of the helpful people from the OpenSource/Linux/GNU people kindly help me choose the right set of software for my system? […]
