Mind you, I downloaded 100% of it at 2400 baud. This was on my first-ever PC, an AMD 386-DX/40 that I bought in April, 1992, at the Dayton Hamfest for around $250 for the board and CPU and another $250 for 4MB of RAM. I wasn't able to install Linux for about a year, until Slackware added native SCSI support (coming from an Amiga and Mac background, I only owned SCSI disks). I want to say it was kernel version 0.95 when that happened - all more than 10 years ago, of course. My little brother started with Slackware and runs it to this day. -ethan
