I agree. It's quite unlikely the setup will finish in 33 minutes. Not really, anyway.

What the fuck :O
That's my CD-Key! Aaaaaa
This is burned into my brain like nothing else.
What's this a reference to?
Back in the day we all had a pirated copy of windows xp pro (corporate, if Iβm remembering correctly).
This was the cd key we all used.
I'm pretty sure that both Red Hat Enterprise and SUSE Enterprise require a license key.
Red hat does after 9?
RHEL never did to install it. To get any updates though, you have to provide a contract number.
Edit: 10 might be different, but I don't think it would be.
Thatβs right, you pay for support not the binaries and the source code is free under GPL.
Not certain, I haven't installed red hat in several years.
I started Linux with a physical copy of redhat 5.2 in 2000.
I had an old friend who busted his ass to educate me on computers when I was a kid and I will be forever thankful to him.
For me, my first exposure to Linux was around that same time, but with SuSE. It's still my go-to distro, even though I've installed and used dozens of different ones. Compiling Gentoo over a weekend is a fun experience at least once.
I think I used gentoo years ago. Is that the one that builds and downloads as you install? Iβm getting old, itβs been years and I remember a distro that was making headlines with something like that years ago.
My go-to distro for a long time was Mandrake, which became Mandriva. I have no idea whatβs going on with that one now.
Iβve been using SteamOS and EndeavourOS recently.
Yeah, Gentoo builds everything from source. Supposed to make it faster, but I didn't notice enough of a difference to make it worth my while.
XP
Unfortunately, whats scarier to people is if the installer is text or TUI, :0
There's a typo there so I think it's fake.
There are also 26 X's in the boxes.
Now this is podracing
Beat me to it
Great minds think alike
Lol agreed
check out /etc/machine-id you don't have to type it
Apparently, you've never run Xandros.
You can always install activate-linux, and it even works on Windows.
That's a delight. I should add that to our Linux jumpbox templates just to spice things up with the junior engineers
