From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Early Knoppix live CDs have a special place in my heart
I wonder whatever happened to Knoppix. All I've been able to find online is speculation and questions.
Yeah, Knoppix was kind of a 'Tucows vibe' distro. Pretty approachable.
Zen Linux was another short-lived 2005 liveDistro, which had a nice feel and Art.
Also, installing all https://trisquel.info/ versions side-by-side and doing a 17 year fast-forward would be cool.
Same. I also have an old Backbox distro that I used daily for years and every once in a while fire it back up for shits and giggles.
