I've been running Slackware since 1999 when I
started with 4.0. And there was
an awful lot of that setup that turned out to be very much DIY. I also added
stuff later on that wasn't present during the install (like an ISA sound
card) so that and X and a bunch of other stuff all turned out to be DIY as
well.
The first Linux distro I ever tried to actually /install/ was
Slackware, on my notebook: a very odd 486DX50 (not DX2/50) with 8MB of
I *love* 486DX-50 machines. I've had some success in the past
installing Am5x86-133 chips in these machines running at 200MHz.
They're quite a bit faster than the first couple of generations of
Pentium chips.
