Picked this up yesterday at the meetup. I guess it’s time to install Linux 😜

@tedchoward This was my first Linux install (1995). There's a hand-written note inside saying "Slackware 2.2".

@cenbe I think my first one was Slackware 3.1 (aka Slackware96). I’ve still use Slackware as my main Linux workstation. It's amazing how little has changed as it has kept up with the modern versions of everything.

Still running Slackware, amazing! I switched to SuSE in '98 (currently running Debian).

Apparently it was possible to do a "CD-ROM” install of which would install a minimal system to the hard disk, and run most of the system from the CD. I wonder if anyone actually ran their system like this.
