I have been using linux now for a year. I know so from a blog entry that it was the beginning of April of 2007 when I first installed linux on my box.

I know that a lot of you guys use linux. So I was wondering how long have you been a linux user?!

Ive been using Linux since my beginning in computers 10 years ago although not on a steady basis (or as a personal OS). I remember telneting into a shell and un-taring files and using chmod etc but now I use it on a steady basis

anyway

For the past 2-3 years i've tinkered with linux time to time. I'd usually do a dual boot, but there's been a few times where i've done a full linux install. Currently though, i'm running windows.

Where's 4 years?

I've been fooling around with Linux since I was 12, starting with Ubuntu not fulfilling my expectations of command line goodness, trying a few other distro's, trying Slackware, trying a few more distro's, and eventually coming back to Slackware.

Ubuntu is simple in the eyes of a user.
Slackware is simple in the eyes of a programmer.

Text file configurations, etc, just seem to be my kind of thing. I use Linux all the time, for I have customized it exactly to my liking.

about 5 years here.
but I voted 3 years because the first distro I used (SuSe 8 I think) was just lying around on the HDD for a while without being REALLY used...ok, I was practicing the basic commands for my studies but that doesn't really count as usage imo.
the 2nd distro I used for a while was RedHat 9 until the support was stopped, then switched to Debian...and I found the perfect distro for me in it..started with Sarge and now I have Sarge/Etch/Lenny installed....
