       Hello Fedi, today we're installing ELX Linux 1.0, an Indian distro from 2002 that's one of the first using GCC 3.

       Off to a great start. Because the installer doesn’t use vga argument and doesn’t understand VMware SVGA II, it boots in 640x480x4… and the installer wasn’t written for that.

       One `linux vga=788` later and we can see what this distro is based on.

       Much better. I haven't got to the partitioning part yet and I already feel I'm making a mistake making this machine. On the other hand, I need to trust it, it's a dolphin.

       Oh my god they spelled 'formatted' correctly! Once of the two instances in that string but it's the thought that counts!

       Yep, it's an Indian distro. Also the formatting with one 't' is just like me fr.

       The rest was pretty unremarkable considering it's just a reskin of Red Hat Linux, the coffee requirement is pretty bad tho.
