- themadsens 5y agoAh yes, tomsrtbt. I completely forgot about it. It even looks it's still going. Used to have that as a grub boot target, and it has saved my cheese more than once ..

- herewulf 5y agoI downloaded LOAF and tried it on a 386 circa '98, not really knowing what Linux was. Sadly it didn't boot for some reason because I could have started my enlightenment about four years earlier. Instead I spent the late years of my adolescence struggling to make "terminal" apps with Microsoft compilers. GCC would have been really nice.
