I started reading and was hoping someone had installed one of the Linux distros that were popular at the turn of the millennium, like Mandrake, Slackware, etc. and it was still trucking along 25 years later.


In 2010 or 2011, deviantArt was running on several hundred slackware servers. One of my projects at that job was converting everything to run on Debian with config management in Puppet to replace all of the old manually configured services.


Thats a name I haven't heard for a while - I was obsessed with scouring deviantart for cool wallpapers during my very early Linux days of desktop tinkering (mostly fluxbox and gkrellm tweaking).


Oldest boxes running are RHEL5 and Win Server 2008. I was trying to explain to the IT Director that both were released when I was in elementary school so I'd have to brush up on them.

"Generation Z", I think.
