I still have the installation CD’s for Red Hat from 2002. I can mail them to you?

Steamymoomilk,

Gentoo, from scratch. No bin-kernal or premade binarys. Just a ungodly long compile time Maybe by day 3 he will have a desktop if hes lucky…

actionjbone,

The best distro? One that he’ll be able to use easily. One that will get him to actually LIKE the experience.

You don’t want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.

You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say “I told you so” for the rest of his life.

Manjaro is pretty easy to use and seems to have good hardware compatibility. A variety of Ubuntu flavors also can mimic Windows and work really well.

ransomwarelettuce,

Thx for the recommendations, but yeah this is just a parody wanted to see the distros people would come up with.

iopq,

NixOS, you need to learn a programming language just to administer your system

ransomwarelettuce,

As someone who actually likes NixOS have never felt so offended with something that I somewhat agree.

theshatterstone54,

I’d go with something based on Gentoo so you would have an easy install process and they would have to live with the pain of compiling from source.

ransomwarelettuce,

Gentoo has turned into an hibrid between binary-source unfortunately, so I would go for something spicier like LFS.
