Always fond memories of Slackware—days of downloading release 2.0 images to a massive stack of floppies over dial-up @ 14.4K in 1994. Stuck with a mix of Slackware and Free/OpenBSD for over a decade.
Glad to see it continues to survive so many years later.

Of course winning the genetic lottery bestows tremendous advantage. And of course luck is a huge variable.
But the intersection of luck, preparation, and willingness is serendipity. And every successful entrepreneur has that in spades in the end, regardless of where they started.
Sure that sounds like another empty platitude, but the fact of the matter is there is no formula or one simple trick.
