Who would've thought that a single $5 purchase would bring so much interesting content to a channel?
It has probably paid for itself multiple times by now.
Like me, I have a $2 Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop from 2005. Still works fine on XP. I made a video of me trying to put Windows 10 on it and it turned out to be my most popular video.
@@sburton015 damn maybe i have to go to a thrift store some day, i am interested a lot in old tech but I've never really owned any old tech.
i know, right?
@@dani.munoz.a23 I actually found it at a flea market. Apparently he was going to throw it out. It shows a BIOS date of 1-12-2005. I could even use it for running games from 2002 or earlier.
In my opinion RedHat logo is the best Linux distro logo ever, it's makes me feels like I'm running an OS for hackers.
wow this was a trip back in time. I forgot how modern looking RedHat 8 was. Tbh I did not see it at the time...but now..damn..it was such much better than windows
RHEL FTW! Our MSSQL server runs on RHEL with an uptime on 350+ days. It's Windows brother reboots weekly.
The more Linux content the better!
I acquired Red Hat Enterprise Linux from a class I took at a prior job, though I forget the exact version number off the top of my head. It multi-booted rather well with various versions of Windows, provided you left free partition space to set up some ext2 partitions. Overall it was a decent distro, though there are more user-friendly options out there for those just wanting to get started (DSL, Puppy, etc.)
Red hat just with the name made me thought it was something your old pc wouldn’t like
@@insanitylol My PC at the time was running an 800 MHz Pentium 3 and RHEL ran great on it. Oftentimes server-based OSes and those with similar sounding names will run just fine on regular desktops.
Cool. I always wanted to check redhat after all the chitchat about it. What about taking a look to Manjaro first version? It would be interesting.
This channel is becoming like Druaga1 except you’re not high on weed and less stuff goes wrong
haha lol lmao

Oml that's sooooo true 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember that Linux Mandrake install he did
And not going crazy over a SSD.
9:02 *ah yes i love holding my mouse like that*
1:26 Red Hat Linux wasn't really killed, it was just killed as a commercial product. It was merged into the Fedora project, starting with (if I recall correctly) RHL being reworked into Fedora Core, with the Fedora Linux Project being reworked into Fedora Extras. Eventually, both merged into just "Fedora". The Bluecurve visual style was dropped some years before both Core and Extras merged, in favour of the default visual styles for the desktop environment being used, with the only visible changes being distro branding where required, and the desktop background. (Edit 3 years later: also the menu button icon on some desktop environments)
On a side note, this reminds me of an open-source software project I had an idea to do, which would be an umbrella project for various projects resurrecting various old Linux visual styles and applications to work on modern desktop environments and distributions, alongside new original tools for configuring certain things.
I can't Linux without a Bluecurve theme.
@@dmmikerpg
Me neither.
Red Hat Linux Enterprise is sold as a commercial product, and Fedora is a project that is maintained by Red Hat and other Community members. Red Hat was bought from Oracle and is owned today by IBM.
Red hat is commercial? I just spent 1 hour trying to get a red hat iso while not owning a company
@@SSG_Productions
You're probably thinking of an evaluation version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which doesn't come with any updates.
From what I can tell on RUclips, a lot of people confuse Red Hat Linux (which progressively merged with a different project to become Fedora) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (which was derived from Red Hat Linux, and later from Fedora).
Try installing Damn Small Linux on the 98 PC
DSL is dead, try Tiny Core instead.

I watched this while wearing a red hat
absolute madlad
As a Linux SysAdmin working mainly with RHEL, I'm blown away at how modern-looking and usable was Red Hat Linux in 2002. Coincidentally, the current version of RHEL is also 8 :)
I was really confused when he said it was red hat 8, then again RHEL has great hardware support.
That look (bluecurve) was actually hugely controversial. It was bi-desktop (gnome and KDE) and a lot of KDE folks were extremely upset. It targeted a subset of features in order to maintain total parity between desktops so that they both looked and behaved the same. This would normally not really matter in the scheme of things but Red Hat was about a year and a half removed from shipping 'GCC 2.96' which was a fork of the then current dev branch of GCC that didn't produce binary compatible output with other versions of GCC so you had to have special GCC 2.96 compiled binaries to use on your system. The FSF put out an angry letter about it. It was a weird time for RH.
Some engineers quit Red Hat over Bluecurve and accused them of 'crippling' KDE.
You have got a lot of mileage out of that machine. Best investment I’ve ever seen on RUclips.
*stonks*
If he has a $5 pc he should try see how well a 100 one is
@@insanitylol he had an opportunity to buy a working computer for $5. I say let him have his fun. $100 is just too easy to get a decent rig from the last decade.
@@insanitylol I feel like you’re missing the point of these videos.
RedHat 8.0 was how I was introduced to Linux. Absolutely blew me away.
Same! First version of Linux I ever touched
@@Synergiance It was 6.2 that introduced me. I was 8. I loved playing Smiletris as a kid.
@Lil' Red Crewmate That's what I'm using.
Same here, it was taught to us in Linux class, my first Linux experience
I bet Linux purists are spitting out their herbal tea at the fact Michael pronounced GNOME as 'nome'. 😂
I'm just mildly annoyed he didn't even try installing neofetch...
I am a designer for Fedora, I pronounce it "nome"
@Dr ROLFCOPTER! I really don't understand what that has to do with anything, gnome is an actual word outside of linux where the 'g' is silent
@Dr ROLFCOPTER! Do you pronounce it Guh-if?
I am a Linux geek, nowhere near a 'purist' and I say "nome". More of a KDE fan though.
I thought this was RedHat Enterprise Linux 8
I was so confused about why it was released in 2002 lol
Yeah, took me a good 15 minutes too
I’m trying to find videos of old versions of Red Hat Linux.
Bluecurve is one of my favorite themes of all time. It was the best at looking the same on both Gtk and Qt applications and the UI elements were just so clean and smooth.
true. it makes it all so perfect
Wow! All those old packages on a CD. I only started using Linux in 2010 so it's exciting seeing versions from before my time and what packages were still around back then ⌚
love your videos. i am 42 years old and i remember rh version 1. infact i am a rhce certified.
you should also do a gentoo video. i spent nights compiling gentoo. fun times.
oOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOoOOOOOooh!!
I used RedHat a long time ago - back in the late 90s. It was probably my first introduction to Linux distributions.
Can you try installing those Longhorn builds sent to you, please?
14:15 no, you cannot. Gnome is just garbage. KDE FTW.
Yeah especially the latest Gnome uses more than double the RAM of the latest KDE but doesn't even have half the functionality.
@@thatoneuser5066 Plasma is an awesome DE, more distros should switch to it being the default instead of GNOME.
@championchap no.
Using Linux through the command line better /s
Install Windows Chicago on $5 Windows 98 PC
Yes
@@juniorelectrician2005 do you like Vista? It’s my favorite OS of all time.
@@CardboardGuy I feel like vista is misunderstood.
@Soumodeep Guha Though true, I get it that some bugs and bloatware were present in the final release of vista upon initial release, but, other then that and higher minimum hardware computer specs is what crippled it's positive reputation and reaching huge main stream adoption from the average Joe who were day one adopters and had lower hardware spec's at the time.
I'm pretty sure there's a Win95 Chicago theme for Linux as well
I remember that when I was young I tried to install these red hat discs on my windows pc via explorer and it crashed everything lol.
$5 98 PC USED RED HAT
IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE
Got a similar machine I've been using to backup old disks. Surprised how well the latest 32bit debian still works on it in textmode (though linux's floppy disk driver REALLY sucks).
one year later and the linux floppy driver just got updated lol
Install FUNKos....Walpaper on top of **insert OS here**
Lol
Try installing android on the windows 95 pc
Too new
I still have all the discs for RH6,7,8,9 sitting in a box. I remember that installer, it was so easy and slick considering the time period. I always pushed up the desktops to 12, have 12 function keys after all. That feature alone was enough to push me into Linux. Windows XP was what pushed me from dual booting to Linux only. Even though I don't still use Red Hat, it was by far the best experience back then. Was even able to get my garbage soft modem working with it, and when I changed to a hardware modem it worked with *zero* effort. Ah the sweet dulcet sounds of a dial up modem calling the ISP, how I miss them now.
This is pretty cool! As someone who joined the Linux community not too long ago, I've never experienced an older distro like this. Pretty cool to see the history here, not only with Red Hat, but also with older versions of KDE, GNOME, and OpenOffice. Pretty neat!
20 years have passed, and sound in Linux is still hard :)
Not really, I never had an issue with sound wdym.
@@tralphstreet I tried to plug in my headset with a mic. Sound is OK but no mic input. On Windows, it works
Provided you have the correct firmware installed, sound in Linux has gotten much easier
@@АлексейГриднев-и7р very common problem ;(
@@АлексейГриднев-и7р Works on my end with 3.5mm jack and usb headsets. Mic and audio.
The 5$ purchase brought us alot of interesting content on this channel.Who did even think that it wont?Vintage stuff is now pretty expensive like nintendo 64 costs 100 euro (roughly 105$).But this is awesome keep the good work michael
I started Linux on Red Hat 5, quite an expérience at 11 yo.
i use arch at 11 lol
@@rayi512x i installed gentoo at 12, noob.

The first distro I ever had installed was Red Hat 4.2 back in 1998 and I'm only finding out now IBM had acquired RedHat in 2019.
🌈 *THE MORE YOU KNOW* 🌈
Lol this is the same exact first computer that I have from my childhood, speakers and everything. Maybe this will make a cool project for me to get it back up and running just for fun.
I used RH 8.0 in class in 2002 and I'm still amazed how modern it looks..even better than some existing Linux distros today. It was my first experience with Linux back then and the vector graphics and icon theme for sure blew my mind, having used only Windows 9x / 2000 back then.
Linux developers take note - this runs great on a Pentium III, I installed it at that time on the Linux lab machines we had - Celeron 700 with 256 MB RAM and 40 GB HDD.
I was able to upgrade this version to the latest version of Fedora linux without a single reinstall, unbelievable but possible
"Today it's a subsidiary of IBM, which is pretty awesome"
That didn't age well
How much Stuff can you make from one 5$ Purchase?
MJD: Yes.
No thanks, I hate redhat because their installer fucked up my hard drive.
Yay! I normally use arch and love this content! Thank you!!
You’re welcome!
My first Linux distro I used full time was Ubuntu. Don't recall the version number. I was thrilled when I saw multiple desktops. I used to have music playing on 1 desktop while doing everything on another.
One thing I hate about Windows multiple desktops is that EVERYTHING is in the taskbar, regardless the desktop it's on. I like having my music program open, but not taking up valuable space on the taskbar. Windows implementation is wrong in my opinion.
wtf dankpods music
8:46 who's face is that on the kernel development icon
You can get redhat enterprize linux fro free trough developent license, that is avalible to everyone, i use it myself as secon system (fir one is windows 10 pro) bc. its the only linux i am a 100%happy with.
really miss the good old days of red hat and miss the blue curve theme :(
I just visited their website. Time to watch this hahah
This somehow looks much more usable than modern linux installations and DEs.
Idk how.
I don't agree, the ones now are simply more efficient
Hey MichaelMJD, you should do a video on Windows 1.0 celebration! It’s gonna be 35 years old tomorrow on November 20th!
I have a version of Linux that comes supplied on 6 CD's and a boot floppy. it has no install GUI.
Oh my. I bet most of the discs are additional software that could be installed after installation, back when Internet connections weren't fast enough.
David... you are... amazing!
Good shit, thanks
Red hat 8 also runs fine on a 486dx4 100mhz with ISA and PCI sis motherboard.. all hardware detected and worked just fine except for the 56k modem i had at the time but i was a dos and windows boy lol i got the os out of a pc magazine cd they used to have in each month magazine i had n tried at least 5 different distros but never got beyond install and a day of looking around at everything then went back to windows.. i found the installs to be mostly easy but not always
Hello Michael
Thank you for the video. This brings my memory when I destroy all files in my windows XP pc because know nothing about what Linux is. Redhat is my first linux distro. And I am so grateful that we have faster mobility and so much community support nowadays. :)
Had multiple desktops back in late 1990s with Sun's Solaris and HP's HPUX Unix OSs. Something that Linux pick up.
16:30 Not the web browser. A 503 indicates that a backend service failed to successfully resolve (Gateway Error). You just hit it at a bad time.
Me Watching This: i know t e c c
You can still the free version of Red Hat today, it's called CentOS and uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux as its upstream.
I still have a set of those Cambridge Soundworks speakers from back in the day, exactly like those. Still the best PC speakers I've ever had.
Red Hat 5 was my first Linux distro!
After watching a bunch of Dankpods videos I have a new appreciation for the music you used right at the start of the video lol.
You should install Windows 2000 in that 5$ PC
this was the first linux i ever used. i got an old 98 box setup again and im planning on installing this soon too
5 dollars for such vintage hardware is a real steal. Very fortunate. =)
8 minutes late but oh well :P
Holy cow! My first linux was red hat 6.2. This is awesome. Brought back memories.
The first red hat with a gui installer:). I remember that because i was really impressed by the improved installer compared to red hat 6.1 which was a lot less user friendly and still a CLI based installer.
Keep your good work! Well I love it
IBM Buying Red Hat. Pretty Awesome. That didn't age well. They just killed off CentOS.
redhat ? just wasting a time :(
or a reminder , or a look back .
better look forward :/
technically Fedora project is continuation of this PC version of Red Hat, I still have Red Hat 6.0 and 7.1 on CDs with those small booklets that my dad bought back 22 and 21 years ago :D I was exposed to Linux as 7-9 yo, I use fedora long term to this day :D
can you make "installing windows 8.1 on the $5 Windows 98 PC" BUT make your system polish language lol
If you want to try Red Hat Enterpise Linux, you have 2 free options
1: Get a RHEL developer subscription
2: Use CentOS
my first real distros after zipslack in like 96 were RH 8 and that Ubuntu hoary hedgehog you showed. you'd just email them and theyd send you disks. legit
bruh I thought Longhorn was the first Windows system to feature the virtual desktop (most notably build 3683). Maybe you don't count betas though and Longhorn is scrapped so no one cares about it anymore
I do plan to put antiX on my Dell Dimension L1000R. I am running antiX on my Dell Inspiron B130 which basically has an Intel Pentium M (actually a Celeron M) that I upgraded the hard disk drive to 150 GB IDE and I installed 1 GB of DDR2 laptop RAM.
I have been using operating systems with multiple virtual desktops for a long time now (at least a decade), and I'm still not sure why anyone uses them. I usually either use multiple monitors, or I have a huge high-resolution monitor (55-65"; at least 4K), where everything is just sprawled out. I have nothing against the feature existing, it's just that I've never had a work environment where I've needed more than one workspace where I didn't also need to see it while working in another pane/tab, etc. 🤔
Fun Fact: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Was Paid, Bur It Is Free Now Since CentOS Was Rebranded To CentOS Stream
If anybody else is wondering, let me save you a bunch of time -- there is no such thing as "The $5 Windows 98 PC." He just found a Windows 98 PC at the thrift store for $5 once. Don't waste your time Googling to figure out what he's talking about.
10 min 16 s It says Video card RAM 16 MB instead of 16 MiB.
Linux should have never adopted that bibibits none sense.
IBM purchased 51% of redhat cloud ONLY it does not relate to redhat Enterprises Linux at all
Really cool video. I love it.

What happend to among us on the 98 pc
What distribution in 2022 allows you to install all packages like that?
I have an original red hat 5.0 copy with floppy disks lol
Watched this on Fedora 35 Workstation. Yay for the Red Hat crowd!
i have similar computer year model and you can get a newer linux installed i used q4os, mxlinux, and antix they wor great and even able to go on the internet to get old games or networking like ssh or client
im using fedora and every other video plays just fine but i cant get this one to play
Why am I still on 7!? Jesus. I must be running commodores
Is it me or this old interface looked more consistent than modern KDE Plasma 5?
There's a ripoff of Pizza Hut called Pizza Hat that uses the same logo as Redhat
Misread that, thought you mean RHEL 8...
_NTFS partition for Windows 98_
ah yes
the only linux distro i used was gallium os planning to install ubuntu or zorin os in virtualbox
i wonder if the 5$ windows 98 pc can run SUSE 5.1?
any chance you have an iso copy of that red hat disk i could download? i cant seem to find it anywhere
actually Red Hat was superceded by Fedora Linux btw
Michael sounds like Dan Bell. Interesting.
