No, I was proven right.
And it's really sad how you like copying me; first it was when I used "delusional" and now it's "forgiven for your ignorance". I guess once a leech always a leech.

Ya gotta lay off the iJuice!!!
nibs you are so delusional you don't know what end is up anymore!....
Comes from being a poor brain washed or is that brain dead, Mac salesman it seems but then being so delusional you can't see you prove nothing!

No need to because I will cheerfully admit that I don't know any of the above. I've only installed and fooled around with the distros. Never used them to any great extent.
Wow, someone else here who is wilfully ignorant.
Wow, more ignorance. You really don't know much do you? I never said that I or my clients sold to "businesses", we took care of the guys who wanted to play around with Linux and they did not necessarily have a pipe.
Let me enlighten you so you can shut up for once:

Here's the most interesting part:
How do you think those retail shops got their RHL in a box way back when? So so so ignorant yet so willing to flaunt it.
Good, NorthPole at least knows when he should shut up.
Now, this little set-to had me thinking back to the old days and SUSE which I've always liked the packaging of for some reason despite the fact that it took a bit more room. Anyways, I did a quick Google search and found the following review on it from the late '90s:

Some salient points:
Maybe I will troll eBay to see if I can get my hands on an old distro but it'd be a pain to fire up an old machine just to load it on.

SuSE was the only one that I can recall who included dead-tree manuals in their box. Well, of the Linux guys at least. I can't say the same for Be or YDL. Everyone else had it on CDs.

In this case, you really are naive aren't you?
First, this is an adult forum. I am not going to say where I got the stuff from nor am I going to say where nor to whom I sold it to. And I never said anything about selling it to Staples.
Second, I only loaded Puppy and Ubuntu and this was quite some time ago.
Third, of course 7.2 is from 2001. Did you ever bother to think that there may have been earlier versions?
You're a long time member of a Usenet group? So what? You need to find people from the mid to late '90s and apparently you haven't.
As for being a fraud, so far everything you've tried to shoot me down with has been proven wrong. Yes, you can get distros in a box, yes, other people besides businesses wanted to use Linux back then and they paid for it.
It's amazing your naivety. You really believe that your limited world experience qualifies you to make a judgment on someone who's done this stuff in real life?

This question is probably more for The Options Menu because he seems to be one of the old UNIX hands around here and not a poseur like NorthPole. Does anyone remember this group and here are the details:
- active for a very short period of time - probably from 1997-1999
- gave away old PCs loaded with Linux
- were based in an old manufacturing building in the east end of downtown Toronto
The deal was that the group received the PCs, people came in to help fix them up (usually students from poor neighbourhoods) and then took them home once they were all done. So, they learn some skills and get a free Linux desktop to boot.
The group died because the building they were in was part of some sort of tech/creative project that lost its funding or something. They gave away a few desktops and that was it. They're sort of a predecessor to FreeGeekToronto.
So, can anyone tell me the name?

Did you miss the post where The Options Menu states that he bought Slackware in a store? Or that even RH said that they were selling it in stores for $29.95. Talk about being wilfully ignorant.
And how would my quoting you a version (assuming you are asking about the version number and not a name such as RH or YDL or SUSE) help substantiate my claim? I could easily just look it up on Wikipedia.
Once again, you've shown that your strong suit is ignorance and not thinking things through.
