There wasn't a predecessor. It was originally based on Red Hat but moved 
away. It must have been 25 years ago but I remember it as a smooth 
installation on an old Compaq. 

Speaking of smooth I upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 last night. It's not a 
problem for me but it's still the 6.8.0 kernel. The Fedora box is up to 
6.12.8.

It wasn't particularly smooth. I had to manually kill and purge postgres 
before it would continue, then it failed on Thunderbird when trying to 
move to a snap. I was able to install it manually afterwards. 

The strangest part was the cleanup where it spent 25 minutes 'searching 
for obsolete software'. I have no idea what part of darkest Africa it was 
searching.
