Yes, my first purchased copy of Linux was Caldera Open Linux 1.1 purchased from PC World. Little did I know where they would end up! Still it got me going once I finally had spare hardware without Windows NT or OS/2 running on it for work to get hooked on Linux (I think I already was, I'd been reading about it on the IBM 'forums' for a while already having found one on getting Linux running on my IBM L40sx laptop). I shouldn't grumble too much though, OS/2 saved me from too much reliance on Windows and made Intel hardware bearable. Being and Amiga user Windows was such a major step down I couldn't understand how anyone could consider it any more than a toy! -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
