Lo and behold, SuSE Linux 6.4 running on the Pentium 133. 🥳

This was surprisingly easy, including the XFree86 configuration (there was no X.Org yet). Looks like I happen to have very compatible hardware.

The distribution feels massive. There is a ton of software on those 6 CDs.

I plan to use this box/setup for the “upcoming” Advent of Code.

YaST1 installing the base system. You see an ncurses text user interface. (SuSE 6.4 also had a graphical installer, but I didn't use it here.) Lots of package names and progress bars as the packages get installed.
KDE1 desktop. A Konsole window in the background with Vim 5.6, another one in the foreground with an interactive Python 1.5.2 shell.

1. As an employee of #SUSE, I need to mention that we actually have one completely European enterprise Linux distribution with over thirty [!] years of experience. We are perfectly ready to serve anybody who wants to switch from any US-centric distro.

2. Even if you don’t want to pay for it, I don’t think #Debian (although SPI is American), or #Ubuntu are exactly slaves to US whims (and I don’t even know what is a domicile of #Arch). And, of course, #openSUSE is gratis as well.

Farewell, #YaST.

Side note: YaST sowie die Popularität von #SUSE Linux im deutschsprachigen Raum Ende der 90er waren der Grund, warum ich meine ersten Linux-Gehversuche mit eben dieser Distribution gemacht habe.

#Yast war dann aber auch einer der Gründe, warum ich sie nach wenigen Monaten hinter mit gelassen habe, denn irgendwie harmonierten wir zwei nicht.
