@tomxcd when Bob Tinker and I started Concord Consortium, an educational non-profit focused on science education in 1996 I went to the MIT bookstore and got a book about Linux that had cdroms containing a Slack distribution. Installed that on a dedicated server connected with a dedicated 56kbps modem, setup domain name, email and initial web page all hosted at concord.org. There was lots to figure out!
