When I started with Linux in 1996, <em>slackware<\/em> was a widely available distribution and for four years I managed to stay away from other ways of setting things up. Late in 2000 I was convinced of the convenience of <em>debian<\/em> by an expert.<\/p>\n<p>My first Linux installation in October 1996 has been Slackware 3.0 with Linux Kernel 2.0.0 on the Aptiva Server <em>sentinel<\/em> (now defunct). It has since then been upgraded several times up to Slackware 3.4 with Kernel 2.0.30. Between 1997 and 2000 several Slackware releases have been installed on various ThinkPads.<\/p>\n<p>In 2001 I startet with Debian 2.2 (&#8216;potato&#8217;) with Kernel Version 2.2.17, followed by Debian GNU\/Linux 3.0 (&#8216;woody&#8217;) with the 2.2.20 kernel in August 2002. Through the years I kept making necessary upgrades to Debian GNU\/Linux: Debian 3.1 &#8216;sarge&#8217;, Debian 4 &#8216;etch&#8217;, Debian 5 &#8216;lenny&#8217;, Debian 6 &#8216;squeeze&#8217;, Debian 7 &#8216;wheezy&#8217;, Debian 8 &#8216;jessie&#8217;and Debian 9 &#8216;stretch&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Since October 2007 I have a Linux installation on my desktop Linux server <em>inuksuk<\/em>.

The Webserver is Apache 2.4.58, Web content management system is WordPress 6.4.1, database is MariaDB 10.11.5, PHP is at version 8.2.10 and my repository is git version 2.42.0.<\/p>\n<h3>Windows<\/h3>\n<p>Since July 2017 my Windows client on <em>yukon<\/em> is a refurbished Lenovo Thinkcentre M77 running under Windows 10 Professional.
