Hi All, now let me see.... Now I think it was back in the early Ninteen Hundred & Eighties. Yes. Um.... ZX81..... I had a rattle with one of those dam things for a couple of days, but the darrrn thing made no sense to me-so I gave up on computers..... Then a ways later, I got a 386-SX-16, with 1 meg of ram! But it came with DOS (4.1) or Diabolical Operating System. Well, it made more sense than the Sinclear-but it was/is a battle. Now I am mostly a Linux man, until it comes to Civ III. Thats my story & I am sticking to it! Greek Geek :-) Gordon Pritchard wrote:

and some wierd named distro with a name that begins with a Y that offered the first Linux CD.
Yggdrasil Computing!!! (Or something very like that). I bought their book "The Linux Bible". About 1500 pages of bible-thin paper, it was, and still is, and excellent reference. I wonder what ever happened to Yggdrasil...
-Gord (livin' on the edge: my first kernel I ever compiled was also on a 386SX-16, but after using stock ones for a while - 1.3.something. I am just now (uptime=2hrs!) running shiny new 2.4.18, compiled from source :-)
