Heh. I remember this post. I was working at UAA, and playing
around with ultrix at time, and was looking for something for
home use. I started looking at minix, but as I was a poor
UAA student-employee, I wanted something cheaper.
I started looking at it, and playing around with it on my 386/25
posting my first message in 1992 to the COLA newsgroup, and picked
up my first distro (yggdrasil 0.98.pl3-23) 10/27/92
Crazy how far it's come since then.
