It was fun back in the day, chunking floppy after floppy into the computer to get Slackware up. First to text consoles. Alt-F1 to F6 without even needing screen (not fucking GNU)! Luxury!

Hacking on XF86Config and being careful not to set your CRT on fire. Simple X11, grey stipple background, twm (vi .twmrc).

Modern Linux is bloated shit, and no more useful than that toy.
