I installed slackware as a 12 year old in the early 90s. I only have 1 PC in the house (other computer was amiga 500 with no internet). My ISP only supported PPP connection which didn't work very well at the time on Linux.
Since the PC was my only source to online help I literally had to reinstall windows and then slackware every time I made an attempt at getting it working. It took probably 15-20 rounds over a couple of months but when I got it felt like the biggest accomplishment of my life.
- microtonal 4y agoMore or less the same (12 years in 1994), however we didn't have internet until some years later. I learned pretty much everything from a Dutch Linux book (which was on the market very early) and all the HOWTOs and guides from the Linux Documentation project.
