I really wish that I was born early so I’ve could witness the early years of Linux. What was it like being there when a kernel was released that would power multiple OSes and, best of all, for free?

I want know about everything: software, hardware, games, early community, etc.

    I don’t recall doing any regular updates

    You needed to buy a modem to get online

    If you stay offline, you don’t need upgrading to prevent virus or hacking. That’s the norm in the good old days.
