Subject: Nostalgia, anyone?



I'm doing some house cleaning and throwing out old diskettes, etc.Among them are eight 5.25 floppies containing Tannenbaum's Minuxsystem. In the '90s I bought his Operating Systems book & talked mydept. into springing for the Minux floppies using the coupon in theback of the book (I think that they cost $80). Minux, of course is thesystem that started Linus Torvald on his epic journey that ended withLinux.

Does anyone want this piece of history?
