@tomxcd Inspired by @codepope's article in PCW, I installed Linus's original boot/root pair of images shortly after he bumped the version number to 0.95? Then, in very short order, the MCC interim distribution put together by Ian Pallfreeman at the Manchester Computing Centre. I think I might still have the QIC tapes somewhere.
@tomxcd @codepope Wikipedia tells me that was in '92. Holy shit. Been running Linux for over 30 years.
