Very nostalgic! I remember downloading the two-CD Mandrake set using a "fast" internet connection at my dad's workplace. Took most of two days. Then I had to learn how to burn a CD. Then I had to learn what this "BIOS" thing is, and what it means to boot from CD. Then I clicked a bunch of buttons that I didn't understand. Then a bunch of weird text scrolled by on the screen, and then I was running Linux![1]
Thanks for all the fun, Mandrake!
[1] It wasn't till later that I discovered that clicking random buttons has a tendency to wipe out other operating systems on the hard drive. Like my parents' Win98 installation. Whoops...
