Is Linux "classic" enough? If you think not, please ignore this email
I started with Linux kernel version 0.12 (not a typo), which I believe
was the first version that was self-hosting. I subscribed to Linux
Journal from its beginning.
Is there any collector value or interest in old issues of Linux Journal?
I have a continuous run for "several" years, beginning with the very
first issue.
Anyone interested? As many as you want could be yours for the cost of
shipping (USPS Media Mail).

I need to go back and learn more history of Linux, particularly about
before it was self hosting.
I've heard vague reference to Unix not being self hosting either when it
first started out. I think it relied on GE Computer Operating System.
(I think that's where the "gecos" field comes from.)

I don't know how much value there is presently for the old issues. But
I suspect that there will be some historic value in the future.

My instinct would be BitSavers or The Internet Archive might be
interested. Though I don't know how that works seeing as how Linux
Journal is still (again?) alive and selling subscriptions.
