From Inception to Gentoo 1.0+
- July 1997 - Started a new position at University of New Mexico, was using Debian 1.3
- Nov 1998 - Was using/developing for Stampede Linux at home, but had not (yet) started Enoch?
- Apr 1999 - Was working on Enoch - wrote xpak .tbz2 code that is still in Portage
- May 18-27, 1999 - First version of Enoch released, according to LWN.net. My blurb for Enoch: "Enoch is an advanced GNU/Linux distribution for the x86 PC Architecture, designed to bring your Linux experience into a new dimension. Or something like that."
- Aug 1999 - My new dual Celeron mobo would not run Linux, went to FreeBSD, Achim Gottinger kept Enoch going
- Late 1999 - Must have came back to Enoch and done the Gentoo name change right about now - the "Gentoo" name was Bob Mutch's idea - started incorporating some FreeBSD ideas into Enoch - Portage (as we know it today) was born.
- July 26, 2000 - Gentoo 1.0 release "imminent", cvs online, rsync "coming soon"
- Nov 3, 2000 - Gentoo 1.0 Release Candidate 2
- Dec 11, 2000 - Gentoo 1.0 Release Candidate 3
- Aug 14, 2001 - New Gentoo Logo/Web site debut - designed by me! Still in use today! :)
- Feb 16-17, 2002 - Was in Brussels, Belgium to attend FOSDEM
- Mar 31, 2002 - Gentoo Linux 1.0 Released !!!
- May 10, 2002 - Gentoo Listed as one of the top 10 Linux distributions on DistroWatch
