Me too, me too! Though I didn't think to get my CD autographed. I thought it was fall '95? (Pretty sure I was still living in what was basically a converted broom closet in Devine Hall, but maybe I'm counting wrong.) I think by 97 (definitely by 98) they had ripped out the VT220s from the engineering labs and installed linux PCs. I remember spending most (all?) of the night following Linus' talk and the following day defragging windows, repartitioning, installing, rebuilding a kernel, getting drivers to work, (re-)re-partitioning so everything fit... I was pretty psyched about actually having *unix* in my room -- with gcc and everything! -- without having to connect to an overburdened campus unix server, worry about the connection dropping, etc. -Brian _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
