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.
Kelly, If you mean is early Linux on topic, I say certainly yes. It's vintage from the era of "early WWW workstation/server" at least. I have a SUSE Linux for 386 manuals and disks but it has been a while since I had it installed on anything. WHen the WWW era broke I was using VMS, starting in 1995 or so I went to Sun OS web developement (Perl).and then FreBSD. Towards the end of the 90's I got my first linux server it came with Red Hat Linux 6, Dell Poweredge 2400 server, but I erased and put FreBSD on it because that's what we were still using. Bill
