Haha i had a 486/dx2-66 laptop and my first try using linux was in 1997 with Debian Bo, IIRC. Downloading over 28.8 modem (maybe it was 56k at that point?) took a LOOOOOONG time, and then trying to get XFree86 to work was no luck with that chipset, even thought it was an IBM computer. It didn't help that the only source of info was the computer itself so getting online in text mode with a usenet client to ask questions and then try to reboot and fail and getting back online etc. It's amazing how far we've come with video drivers. sound drivers on the other hand. |
