Yep. I remember that pride very clearly. I'm also so glad I never have to do that math ever again.

I'd never heard of this one. If the claim that its slogan was "Gentle Touchdowns for DOS Bailouts" is true, then that's a really great pairing of distro name and slogan.

Isn't that fun? https://nyanpasu64.gitlab.io/blog/crt-modeline-cvt-interlacing/ https://nyanpasu64.gitlab.io/blog/crt-modeline-cvt-interlaci... :-) TBH I've been mostly unimpressed with the early Linuxen. At the time they had almost nothing which NetBSD didn't have, and I knew that really well. Gentoo 'ricing' well. But it was clear that there was momentum behind the Linux hype. It was on CD-Roms in magazines, in book stores. While *BSD wasn't known generally, just by some guys in Universities, or similar. Bad marketing. FUD because lawsuits, and whatnot else. Such BSD, so sad...
