In 1996-97, I had just been through the horror of upgrading a lab full of
machines from SLS 1.03 to Slackware, and then from one Slackware version
to another. Each "upgrade" was a re-install and reconfigure. Along came
RedHat with the promise of doing real upgrades without losing all your
configuration. Of course I jumped at the chance. I've been using RedHat
ever since, even though they had a couple of major changes in rpm that
made it impossible to do a real upgrade.
In 2000, I had an PHP application written using MySQL, and I suddenly
decided I wanted to be able to have it work better with simultaneous
updates, and I'd read that Postgresql was no longer dog slow compared to
MySQL, so I switched to PostgresSQL.
