A system with a CD drive in 1993 was a luxury. I remember I had to use floppies in 1994.

  I had a single speed CD rom, but it was hooked up under a weird SCSI arrangement that Slackware wouldn’t recognize.
  
  So I swapped it out for a 2X IDE drive with a 3CD caddy! Good times!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
