 @MrsMouse @flexion Nice! I actually interviewed for Redhat around 2000, at their San Francisco office. I got the offer, but they weren't sure if they wanted to place me in SF (they were closing the office) or NC. I ended up taking a job from the people who likely printed that CD... Turbolinux aka Pacific HiTech. It didn't last though, they laid us all off within a few months. I didn't actually end up working for RH until a few years ago, but I was in the wrong department and left soon. 8 comments
@MrsMouse @flexion I was really disappointed in our release. There were things that just simply didn't work and were clearly untested _in the installer_. Like.. IIRC you couldn't do a FTP install even though it was offered, it would error. I filed so many bugs but like I said, we were laid off soon after. There was a Japanese company also doing Turbolinux for Japan and that distro was 1000x better than ours. @MrsMouse @flexion I think the TurobLinux US distribution had nobodies attention since it was a _bad_ fork of Redhat ~4 (I know a lot of us put love into it, but it was bad). At the office we had some folks from the Japan Turbolinux visit and show us their distro and we were all in total awe of how amazing it was compared to what we were working on. |

I def remember TurboLinux, but I don't remember much. That was in the day before I had VM's everywhere so I don't think I had the HW to spin up everything to try. I was at IBM by 2000
