I've dabbled a bit with Linux over the years. I started with Yggdrasil's distribution when the Linux kernel went 1.0. I never did get X working on my $3000 Gateway 486 (with 16M memory amd a 340M HDD!). I went through a couple of Redhat distributions over the years, but always went back to MS for the games and multimedia. These days, I have a Mac and feel like I'm getting the best of all the OS worlds.

BTW, this all brings some other fun memories to light like BeOS, the BBS listing from the back of Computer Shopper, and the dead tree version of the Walnut Creek CD catalog that always seemed to be sitting on top of my toilet
