You can always install activate-linux, and it even works on Windows.
That’s a delight. I should add that to our Linux jumpbox templates just to spice things up with the junior engineers
I’m pretty sure that both Red Hat Enterprise and SUSE Enterprise require a license key.
Red hat does after 9?
RHEL never did to install it. To get any updates though, you have to provide a contract number.
Edit: 10 might be different, but I don’t think it would be.
That’s right, you pay for support not the binaries and the source code is free under GPL.
Not certain, I haven’t installed red hat in several years.
I started Linux with a physical copy of redhat 5.2 in 2000.
I had an old friend who busted his ass to educate me on computers when I was a kid and I will be forever thankful to him.
For me, my first exposure to Linux was around that same time, but with SuSE. It’s still my go-to distro, even though I’ve installed and used dozens of different ones. Compiling Gentoo over a weekend is a fun experience at least once.
I think I used gentoo years ago. Is that the one that builds and downloads as you install? I’m getting old, it’s been years and I remember a distro that was making headlines with something like that years ago.
My go-to distro for a long time was Mandrake, which became Mandriva. I have no idea what’s going on with that one now.
I’ve been using SteamOS and EndeavourOS recently.
Yeah, Gentoo builds everything from source. Supposed to make it faster, but I didn’t notice enough of a difference to make it worth my while.
Unfortunately, whats scarier to people is if the installer is text or TUI, :0

What the fuck :O
That’s my CD-Key! Aaaaaa
This is burned into my brain like nothing else.
What’s this a reference to?
Back in the day we all had a pirated copy of windows xp pro (corporate, if I’m remembering correctly).
This was the cd key we all used.
Wait I’m the system administrator, who the hell do I contact??!!
User not in super-sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
The Ultra Sysadmin. Bring the sacrifice.
