Forked from original Redhat 5 (before Fedora and REL) and started with that <br>
version number. I started with Mandrake 8. Boxed set that was about a year <br>
old when it 'fell' in my lap. Relative worked at Comp USA... Later merged <br>
with Conectiva and changed its name to Mandriva. Law suit with a cartoon <br>
Mandrake contributed to the name change. Later died everywhere except Russia <br>
and Brazil spawning Open Mandriva, Mageia and PCLinux OS. Possibly others?<br>
<br>
Been a long run, but if I'm going to use Comfy have to say goodbye to my GUI <br>
tools :-( <br>
<br>
BTW now have a working Comfy UI with SDXL on my new build. Also a longish <br>
run, started buying up parts three years ago before I retired. <br>
