When did you first start using Linux? I was working in this big programming company, the sysadmin of it told me that he will change the entire system platform to a new and better one its name was Linux, so i decided to take a look, i found the Red Hat 5.0 cd on a desk i tried to install that version on my work desktop, but that was all only a try, then i get tired of such things with an MS* background i always restart the machine to get things done even in my old DOS days.Then i quit that job and get a lot of free time so i deciced to give Linux a chance i went to my favorite computer store and get the Red Hat 6.2 CD, after reading the entire manual i figure out how to installed and make some move in the system, two months later i hate Red Hat, i switched to Slackware then a year later i installed Debian on my 386 machine and i let Slackware on my desktop box.
Have long have you been using SMGL? Like 2 months or so.
What peaked you interest in SMGL initially? Well i found the LFS-HOWTO on linuxdoc and i made my own distro at that point i used checkinstall and pkgutils from Slackware for my packages managment, after the hard drive crashes i was looking for a fast installation of a source based distro so i deciced to give it a try to gentoo at first glance it was wonderful but when i got my feet wet with portage i began to dislike it, then i went to distrowatch and found a good resource for source base distro, i saw on the ranking list the next Source base distro at the moment was SMGL, and here im.
What future do you see for SMGL? This is a great distro with a great community and thats is the heart of the open source movement, and the package system is getting better and better, soon will be a source mage user everywhere.
Tell us a little bit about your self. Education/Carrer/Skills? I have a Technical degree in Computers, and thats all. I think im a good cooker too.
Any personal messages for the Source Mage user out there? Keep using SMGL
