Here is my main cell phone with GrapheneOS.

I was an early adopter of Red Hat Linux over 20 years ago

This was pretty close to my dream Linux system in 1999, from the hottest rising star in the business - VA Research! 🤣 Tough sell for the boss, that was a lot of money for a small arts organization (bls inflation calculator says $8900 in 2025 dollars). This replaced a cheap Dell PC from CompUSA (remember them?) that I installed Red Hat on myself a couple years earlier. This quote is from my original 1999 notes

And here it was on a desk in the corner of my office on 4/14/1999. Sorry, hope you'll forgive me for not having a proper "about this Linux" screen.

Wow! Hard to believe something like that would cost that much.

Back then I was drooling over those Silicon Graphics workstations that I could not afford.

That was kind of a boutique system from a hot company, but it was great, had Red Hat pre-installed and all the peripherals. They custom built their boxes for Linux, which was unusual back then.

Here's the full spreadsheet, less RAM in the others, no UPS, no pre-installed Linux.

I always loved that UI. I used Linux for 20 years, before moving to Apple gear, and I always ran the WindowMaker window manager because of that look. Beautiful! Apple really needs to release a version of macOS with the NeXTSTEP UI.
