I need to write a version of that Johnny Cash "man, I've been everywhere!" song except it's just listing off all the linux distributions I've used so if someone suggests to me a linux distribution I can just start singing - ThreadSky

We didn't start the kernel

Debian
Red Hat
Yellow Dog
Remember that?

Slackware. That required at least 70 floppy disks.

dryad.technology•68 days ago

Debian in 1999 could install from *one* floppy… the floppy could connect to the dpkg servers over your modem and download the rest 😎

This was closer to 1996. High-speed internet was still not common and typical dialup ran at 14.4 kbps. Package archives were on the disks. Yes I'm old.

No cable modem, no problem.

dryad.technology•68 days ago

Well, I couldn't use it until 1999, because that was when they added support for Power Macs

I was about to mention Yellow Dog, but neither of us was first to that response.

Gentoo is the easy one, you just start that verse from scratch every time

I thought you were talking about this Australian song, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I've_Been_Everywhere and can get behind it. (There is a NA version you might have been talking about?)

🎶I've use every distro,
I've used everything🎶

I've use Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, NixOS.....

dmac.au•69 days ago

Searched and it is the same song @bsky.app give me an edit button FFS! It's 2025.

dryad.technology•69 days ago

Yeah, from your link "The song was also recorded by … Johnny Cash"

Sorry I saw Hank Snow and then stopped. 🫠

Please make this happen! Just imagine: ‘I’ve used Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Debian, Mint, Manjaro, Pop_OS, Red Hat…’ The ultimate Linux anthem. Bonus points if you add a line about distro-hopping being the real addiction!

Been to Caldera, Yellow Dog, SUSE's logo is....like...a frog?

schock.cc•68 days ago

Like a version
Grep'd for the very first time

natanael.bsky.social•69 days ago

I think you could even make it work entirely with distros named after places
