Forked from original Redhat 5 (before Fedora and REL) and started with that 
version number. I started with Mandrake 8. Boxed set that was about a year 
old when it 'fell' in my lap. Relative worked at Comp USA... Later merged 
with Conectiva and changed its name to Mandriva. Law suit with a cartoon 
Mandrake contributed to the name change. Later died everywhere except Russia 
and Brazil spawning Open Mandriva, Mageia and PCLinux OS. Possibly others?

Been a long run, but if I'm going to use Comfy have to say goodbye to my GUI 
tools :-( 

BTW now have a working Comfy UI with SDXL on my new build. Also a longish 
run, started buying up parts three years ago before I retired.
