It’s been a while. I began with Debian around the year 2000. In 2002 or 2003, I built a new computer and installed Linux From Scratch (LFS) by following the guide book. A year or two later (ca. 2004), I was ready to automate things and switched to Gentoo, hoping that portage would make dealing with upgrades and dependencies much easier. I’ve been here ever since! Nowadays new machines get Funtoo and I’ve migrated most of my older ones; but Gentoo and Funtoo retain enough similarity that I don’t consider to have left.
