It's quite remarkable, isn't it?

It is how Linux used to be in the 1990s: tiny, simple, blindingly fast compared to the big lumbering commercial OSes...

... Which now are also Linux. Which is terribly terribly sad.

They weren’t blindingly fast then. The hardware was so much slower in the 90s. It’s difficult to remember just how slow a 5400rpm hard drive was.

Oh no it isn't. I started before floppy disks were widespread. Floppies were sooooooo good after tape cassettes. :-)
