In 1999, I got a boxed copy of Redhat 6.0, and very quickly got frustrated, due to being exposed to a totally new world. The xserver didn't support my voodoo3 card, and when I did manage to get a gui it was a low-res vesa display. From then on I experimented with newer releases of Redhat and then I tried mandrake, which finally got my xserver working, and managed to use partition magic to get real dual booting working. Even still, I didn't get more seriously into using linux until Gentoo started getting big in 2002, which, upon having completed the install procedure, I finally became competent enough on the command line and editing text files, that I finally became a full-time, serious linux user.
