    I think I got that one; back then you could order cheap CDs of a bunch of different distributions from third-party vendors because most people didn’t have broadband. Depressingly, it seems the firm I used (CheapBytes out of California) is gone now.

    I had used Slackware before that since my ‘learn you linux’ book came with a Slackware disc set. I recall it being frustrating because I had actually bought WordPerfect for Linux, a libc5 product, and it didn’t work right with the new glibc universe.
