The Linux Help and Tutorial Thread

Slackware was my first distro. Had to make floppies from a CDRom. Was like 22 of them. Installed it to a 486. Maybe 400mz????? 512 meg of ram?? Sound about right? Since my previous machine was a 200mz with 128 meg ram sounds reasonable. Kernel .99. In those days it was like bare knuckle brawling. Wusses did not need to try. X was configured via editing a text file as was dial up modem using PPP. Ah the good old days. NOT. I like it better now except back then you had to learn now you really do not.

Liked Gnome 2 too. Simple although nested branching menus could get tedious.


EDIT: loving old age. 486 was 25-100mz. so guessing it was before the Pentium 1XX. Maybe I should just stop talking.
