The first really popular RedHat release was probably Vanderbuilt (1997). Zoot (2000) was the first release to offer ftp download of ISO images. I switched to Debian in 2001 because deb packages had better dependency handling than RPM (at the time). In about 2010 I swapped to Ubuntu, mainly because I was no longer that interested in distros and just wanted a system which worked. I still prefer deb over rpm. My first latex document was in 1988/1989. Back then it was a DOS distribution and a pain to get working well! There use to be DOS sotfware (name I cannot remember) which you installed to give you a 'Unix' like environment - back then, most of my work was on mainframe/mins (Dec 20/Ultrix, SunOS/Solaris, OSF/Tru64). I also do all my work in org and don't write 'native' latex anymore. All the info I provided before was from the perspective of using org to generate Latex and then pdf. My setup and document classes are all defined within org mode configuration options. I run emacs on OSX for work and Linux at home. The last time I used MS was Windows 3.1 and I know little about modern MS platforms. MS Office just make me shudder! -- Tim Cross
