Of course it would also be nice to have several distros of the same vintage for comparison so if anyone fancies building a SuSE linux 6 or 6.1 box or a period Debian box, we could reignite some of the old flamewars (KDE vs Gnome at that time would be fun to see again)
I'll have a look on the shelf this evening to see what I've still got.
Somewhere I've got a little old monochrome laptop with a Linux install on it... I think it needs something running PPP or PLIP to talk to !
