I didn't know it was that long ago. SuSE was the only Linux I ever tried on
my desktop but threw away because back then it was such a hassle to get
sound and graphics working. Now I'm having Debian and FreeBSD on my servers
and am quite happy with it. I have since moved to Berlin but was once at
the observatory taking a tour -- quite cool. I didn't know you could watch
it on TV.
