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.
My first time trying out Linux was with a bootable CD from a PC gaming magazine. It was Corel Linux. If I recall correctly it booted into KDE.
Unfortunately on my system the mouse cursor was invisible. The mouse worked, I just couldn’t see where the cursor was. My brother who was using Linux full time couldn’t help me fix it.
