It's quite remarkable, isn't it?
It is how Linux used to be in the 1990s: tiny, simple, blindingly fast compared to the big lumbering commercial OSes...
... Which now are also Linux. Which is terribly terribly sad.
- OriginalPenguin 5mo agoThey weren’t blindingly fast then. The hardware was so much slower in the 90s. It’s difficult to remember just how slow a 5400rpm hard drive was.
- lproven 5mo agoOh no it isn't. I started before floppy disks were widespread. Floppies were sooooooo good after tape cassettes. :-)
