@tomxcd It was 1993 or 1994. The era of mail order and Computer Shopper magazine, and Netscape was only just appearing on the scene, the web had not yet taken over the world. I had just built a specialized PC to run NeXTStep, and a friend mentioned I could probably also run Linux on it, so I ordered a Yggdrasil CD through the mail. And then, I was hooked.
