Screenshots Retro

Screenshots!

I was going through some old images using Picasa and found some old desktop screenshots. They definitely bring back good and funny memories.

RedHat days (1999-2000ish)

If you look close enough you can see my nikah video played using Real Player. That was the pre-youtube era. (Shakir pay attention, mmkay). The following screenshots are probably from RedHat 8 (or 7 ish?)



Playing with Gimp here, w00t!



Mandrake

I switched to Mandrake Linux 2001 onwards I think. I remembered building rpms for the modem that came with the Compaq-sub-4kg hehe notebook that I was using. I stayed with Mandrake until at least 2004. I also switched to xfce for a while.


Yup, I was using dial-up allright. Pre-paid too, and it wasn’t so bad as far as I can remember. Must be in 2001.



(Legally, ahem) accessing a windows desktop in the same LAN using TightVNC.

Gentoo
I got Streamyx at home and plenty of time :-) . That was the time when I started to use fluxbox. Gentoo stayed on the desktop until the mid 2006. I’m pretty much on Debian these days.
