[22:27:23] <exec> 08└─SLS was the first Linux I used. Downloaded from a BBS over a blazing fast USRobotics modem. The sysop was a great guy and suspended my up/down ratio so I could fetch it in a reasonable(ish) number of days. Some may object to the images, but I enjoyed them. I had almost forgotten about when we had to...

[22:27:58] <exec> 08└─You might have run Xenix on a 286, not Linux. Linux needed 32-bit linear addressing, virtual memory and paging on the 386. Much later the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset came along. There was also a project called uCLinux for Linux on microcontroller without virtual memory.
