How I got into tech.

Started by monsterb, this series invites people to share with us how they found Linux. It has become traditional for first time hosts to share with us their journey to Linux. Indeed it has morphed to be way to share your journey in tech right up to your first contribution to HPR.

Today our newest host, Frank Bell describes how he started on the road to Linux and some of the things he noticed along the way. In this episode, he goes from a empty computer to one running Slackware 10.0.

This is what HPR is about

What a great show. You hit this one out of the park. I loved hearing about the stuff that came before "my time", but I loved this episode from start to finish anyway. Thank you sincerely for pitching in, we really need it.

I had a pretty crappy day yesterday, and you helped to make a crappy day better. Thank you.

Once You Slack, You Never Go Back

What am I running now? Why Slackware, of course (plus a few others along the way).
