@tomxcd I somehow managed to keep using an #Amiga until 2001 when I finally decided I should give Linux a spin. I started with #Slackware which I liked, but I figured I needed to be going the extra mile so in 2002 I switched to the newly-released #Gentoo which I still use to this day.

@gabrielesvelto @tomxcd I switched to Linux because I found a copy of Quake III for Redhat for $5, when the windows copy was still like $40. *BOUGHT* (!) a boxed copy of Redhat right along side it, then took it to a PC Users club I was a part of and begged a friend to help me install the OS and game. Never looked back. This must have been late 99 maybe early 2000?
