I heard about 386BSD long before I heard about Linux but I didn't have a 386, or for that matter an easy way to get it.

I did have a 286, but I also didn't have a way to get Minix.

And then round about the time that I got a 386SX-25 with a whopping 4MB of RAM, Linux 0.9 came around on a couple of floppies, and that was kind of that.

I don't know if I still even have that 386, a little small form factor Compaq Deskpro. I know I needed to add a bodge wire to repair a blown comm port at one point. I hope I still do have it, it's probably got some of my terrible early Unix programming on it!
