TAMU Linux 1.0D running X11. Reliving the glory days of 1992.
Took me a while to remember all the Mojo needed to get X11 running.
In 1991, I was running ESIX System V Release 4 (4.0.3A) on a 386-20 with X11. The initial window manager was twm.
I didn't switch over to Linux until 1995, on a 486-66. That was Slackware 2.2.0, running Linux kernel 1.2.1. I still have the diskette images for Slackware, if anyone wants to install it. :-)
You are mean! ;-)
You might need a few diskettes. ;-)
I still have my 6386sx with Linux 1.2 on it. No idea if it runs.
I also have several CD (much better install).
Before Linux it was my 3B1s on Starlan.
Sitting in front of me is SlackWare 10 running on an IBM PC 110, still boots and can do X. Not sure OS version, but Linux 2.X I think. Kinda new compared to everyone else, but the unit still triple boots, DOS, Linux, Windows 95 OSR2 Jim -- RETRO Innovations, Contemporary Gear for Classic Systems www.go4retro.com store.go4retro.com
