not that anyone asked but jaromil may be pleased to hear that dynebolic v1 was (i think) the 2nd distro i ever tried before i ever heard of GNU or the FSF - liveCDs were quite "cutting-edge" then and it seemed like a very easy way to try out this nerdy "linux" thing i had been hearing about - i can say that the dynebolic website was my first introduction to the free software "philosophy" (indeed that there was any "philosophy" behind it at all) - most of what i had heard was only that this "linux" system would allow you to customize any of it's programs if you knew how to read code - i did not know how to program very well at the time (some TI-BASIC - yay) but the idea of having such a modern environment conducive to experimentation was very inviting; and i figured that, because i am a curious fellow, i would eventually become a competent programmer if i just started using it - then the more i learned about programming: the more i learned about and appreciated the GNU "philosophy" - whatever fwiw that's my lil story in a nutshell
