The early days of Linux

Typical Lars article - self deprecating and quiet. Thanks for the Linux Documentation Project - I've a huge book next door which is basically all the HOWTOs from about 1994 which got me using Linux properly using first Slackware, then Linux-FT and finally Debian.

You could run an ISP using only those HOWTOs - I know because myself and a good friend basically built a small ISP using only that documentation until we could get on the Internet. Thanks Lars for sacrificing a machine to someone else's pet student project and kickstarting everyone else.
