10 Years of Linux For Me

I realized while cleaning out my office that as best I can tell it has been 10 years since I first installed linux. I found my slackware 1.0.2 boot floppy (the other 40 floppies got tossed some time ago), which was released in Septemeber 1993. I think it was installed on a box with a 20MHz 386 and a 80MB seagate st296n. I had used SCO Unix before that (Oh, the shame) and still remember being amazed at how much easier it was to install than SCO and that all the things I remember from BSD were there and just worked.
