Just for a bit of fun (since it's Friday) - what was your very first exposure to Linux and what was your first distribution that you ever installed (and can you remember the kernel version?!).
SLS, I think. A 2 disk *system* (And now SuSE's only on the 1. DVD, mind!) One of the 0.9x kernels. (That was a *looong* crawl to v1.0!) And an install pamphlet with a petrel on it that seems to have mutated into a penguin.
I'd heard about this "linux" thing, but at the time I was running a 286. No go. But a friend on my course (hi Andy!) had "borrowed" a flatmate's 386 laptop... Never did get the number of columns quite right!
That would have been between autumn '92 and spring '93. 10 years of linux coming up!
Ah - those were the days... (he says with a small tear in his eye..)
Eh, by 'eck thay were! Nowt but a blunt holepunch if you were lucky, or teco if you wern't!
