www.linuxformat.co.uk - http://www.linux-magazine.com/ . Travelled
round the world a few times doing that.
I think my first distro was Caldera which I think was in 1996. I was
working as an NT / 95-98 admin at the time.

I remember trying Slackware in 1994 with my flatmate on a 486 from a stack

xfree86 config file and then finding that X would not run much more than
xeyes with 4MB of ram. Those were the days. I also had it up and running

Well today pretty much marks 20 years since I've used Linux at

I started using Debian and RedHat Linux when I was at www.shef.ac.uk
back in 1993. Then I got into e-mail discussions with Richard
Stevenson at Pegasus Mail in New Zealand. By 95/96 I was helping to
start the first UK
Yes it was ablast to be able to rub real Unix programs with ls and shell
and fork(2) on 386 Ollivetti after years of having to rock up to a serial

I was completely ignorant when I found the need to set up a web presence
via a 36K dial-up! For 6 months an expert friend tried to get NT4 to
run basic web server, mail server, dns functionality. I was finally
told by Microsoft themselves that it
Well today pretty much marks 20 years since I've used Linux at home. I'd
been using Linux at since late '92, mainly as a way to cheaply repurpose
some older PCs into X-Windows terminals for use in our UNIX development
environment. I'd sold a bunch of shares from my employer, and decided to

Yes, Ydrasil which, I believe, changed its name to Slackware in about
1994 was the producer of one of the first editions I tried.

I started out downloading floppies at work - as I only had I think 9600bps
to OzEmail. I think all of BHP at that had a 384kbps link (via our research
labs in Melbourne). Of course you'd get to the 13th floppy at home and find
it not working. SLS become Slackware. The Y distro was probably
