@tomxcd 9.10 karmic koala was my first version but i jumped quickly to 10.04 lucid lynx which looked like this [pic 1]. i think 10.10 maverick meerkat was actually kinda nice for the time. then 11.04 natty narwhal moved to the unity desktop which i hated [pic 2] so i hightailed it off to download the arch iso 2011.04.01

@tomxcd @trwnh warm and inviting is right @.@ it's just a little guy, it doesn't want to hurt you

@tomxcd @trwnh it was hell to get nvidia working at that time, but otherwise driver support was already decent, and sending free CDs at a time where internet connections were *very* slow was amazing! I also got some people to move to Linux by passing these CDs around :D
