@miah @flexion
thinking of it, I might remember turbolinux being the Japanese one.
that makes a lot of sense.

@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.

@MrsMouse @flexion I remembered I have one artifact from around this time... After TurboLinux I ended up working for Penguin Computing! For Christmas we all got these watches. I wore this thing for _years_ as you can see its quite worn down. I'd love to get it fixed up at some point.

A watch case and a watch with no bands. The watch has the Linux logo Tux The Penguin embossed on its face. The watch case is a shiny silver metal and has a Penguin Computing sticker on it.

The back of the Penguin Computing watch. It has the Penguin Computing logo and LIMITED EDITION 081/100.

@MrsMouse @miah thank you both for sharing photos and stories! I also worked at IBM in 2000 and did my 'Red Hat Certified Engineer' test there :)
