I'm not running for office but I started using Linux when the stable kernel series was 2.2 and my distribution had a 2.0 kernel because 2.2 was still new. I saw 2.3, I had to live with the problems in 2.4 and I saw the discussions that fixed it all in the 2.5 series. Back then we still had to use XFree86 version 3, KDE was in version 1.0.x and Gnome was still in the planning stages. HAL hadn't even been conceived yet because there was no hot-plug support in the kernel yet! If that wasn't enough, we didn't even have Glibc, GCC was in version 2.7.x and the entire distribution with *all* RPM's fit in a single CD! I didn't have a CD burner yet because they were too expensive so I don't know what the device name would have been. -- Alberto Treviño [EMAIL PROTECTED] Testing Center Brigham Young University -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
