In other words, if you ordered a machine in August, 1994, it would
arrive in February, 1995, and you would stick it in a warehouse before
heading home for the season, then pull it out to use it when you got
back in October, 1995.
So that Yggdrasil disk was probably purchased in in 1995, etc., etc.
I was one of the first to bring Linux to the continent, but we already
had SunOS (and VMS!) well established at that time.

Yggdrasil Linux distribution (remember them?)
I remember them. That was my first at-work Linux experience (I'd been
using Slackware at home) c. 1996.
