Wow. I remember when Slackware was distributed on six floppies, and I had to download it from BBS about a thousand miles away. I had a 386 computer with a 40Mb MFM hard drive that was about the size of a loaf of bread, and the computer had the bare minimum of ram to run it -- 4 Mb. You had to directly copy a floppy image to the hard drive, and then manually edit a few bits to tell it to boot from the HD. I had no idea what I was doing -- none of my friends had even heard of Linux, but it was a lot of fun.
Linux: You've come a long way, baby!
