Mid 1994 - Slackware from diskette.  Installed on a homemade box with
AMD 40 Mhz 386 processor, a whopping (for the time) 16MB Ram, 120 MB
Maxtor hard disk, ATI VGA Wonder XL graphics.  I still have the system
in my closet.  It ran a firewall on a floppy distribution back in 1999
when I still used dial-up access to the Internet.
