| An interview with LinuxGuru.net editor Steven Barnhart |
May 16, 2002
DesktopLinux.com founder Rick Lehrbaum chats with Steven Barnhart, a 13-year-old student who serves as 'head editor' of LinuxGuru.net. From the interview . . .
"Rick: How in the world did you get started with Linux?"
"Steven: Well, its kind of a strange story I suppose. I started out by wanting to use Perl and began asking around on IRC about where I could get it. I had heard of Linux at that time but never really put much thought into it. Many people told me it was a *nix program and such but for some reason I thought it was for Windows. Anyways, a very nice person . . . messaged me and told me it was for *nix systems and Linux. . . . I asked (as usual with a newbie) about a thousand questions . . . well, to keep things short, after trying out about 10 distros that would *not* install on this machine for some reason, good old Debian did and that is where I am stationed now . . ."
