1. old computer found in a dumpster. Using it to learn about sysadmin and networking.

2. I installed it when centos was dead and I was looking for a stable os for a web server. My main computer runs Linux Mint.

3. It’s the first one I tried. Might check out open bds and dragonfly when I get into hosting and virtualization.

4. I’m just limited by lack of knowledge. But I like that there’s a more common path to follow, with great documentation. For the things I have working now, I feel like I have a better handle on my config choices vs in Linux distros I don’t always know if I’m doing things the Linux way or the Ubuntu way.

5. Several nights and weekends playing with ancient hardware and alternative software.
