My OLD selection of 20 Linux Distributions

I was deleting old emails from my  Yahoo mail and found an OLD update on Linux.

The top of the pops are Puppy and Knoppix.

I have renamed Knoppix as Toppix.
The 20 without any order or preferences are;

1. Reborn Linux

2. Rescue Linux

3. Simply Memphis

4. MX Linux

5. Debian

6. OSgeo

7. Steam

8. Sparky Linux

9. Endless OS

10. ELive

11. Puppy Linux

12. Knoppix

13. Emmabantus

14. PCLinux

15. AVLinux

16. Rescatux

17. DSL

18. Finnix

19. Mint

20. Parted Magic now a commercial product.

21. DSL

22. M4 Linux

23. Deft

24. Linpus and Redflag

25. PCLinux

26. SuSe

27. Mandrake

28. Pendrive   Linux means some Linux supporting sfs (single long file system) on a 1 or 2GB USB.
In fact, I booted Puppy Linux on a 512MB USB.

That is how I started and I loved Finnix, DSL and 4M Linux (? Media, Maintain, Multiple ???).

I hated bloated Linux.
Now KDE, Gnome and Cinnamon are resource hungry whereas xfce, fm, likeworm and many more I forget the names).
I am going to settle down on MATE.


Ubuntu, Peppermint, Zorin, Pop Os, Gpart, (there should be a new Linux named "GonPart" in memory of failing memory of Sleepy Joe and his war machine), portable DSL and (new one should be named Sleepy Joe)  Dream Linux, Xandros were not in my original list.
