@tomxcd I remember buying a Suse box with Kde beta 3 in it. It just worked and with some tinkering I managed to get my ISDN card working too. That was the beginning of a long relationship. From the on I needed fewer and fewer kernel builds of my own. Now it's painless. I also remember standing in front of the Shareware board of my local computer store with Linux disks. Didn't have a 386 so I couldn't use them. That was much longer before my suse box. Good times!
