Muah, I ran SLS, too. Still have the diskettes, in fact. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

[link\|http://digital-domain.net/lug/unix-linux-history.html\|http://digital-domai...inux-history.html] Although [link\|http://bob.hentges.lu/html/articles/en/linux_timeline.html\|this] says that SLS was the first standalone Linux install. If I remember correctly, SLS was the first one to include X as well (which is why I started using it).
