To me, one of the most remarkable aspects of this story and reading others' comments is how relatively quickly people seem to have picked up Linux despite the lack of modern high-speed internet and one-click away forums and networks we all enjoy today. I guess that's an inevitable outcome if the market is ripe for some change no matter the opposing forces, like missing features, strong alternatives or no commercial support, etc.
- aa-jv 3y agoOne of my earliest great Linux experiences was when I set up my 486 to download all of the floppy images (or maybe it was the Yggdrasil .iso), then went to Op Amp Bookstore in Los Angeles for lunch, finding myself an Yggdrasil distro, returning home, cancelling the download and getting on with it .. That was really a watershed for me: the whole thing on a single CD .. wow! And bootable, also!
