My second Linux CD I purchased (after TransAmeritech) was an Yggdrasil
live install CD which had kernel version 1.2.13. Back then, my 486
computer was so cramped for HD space on 4 MB of RAM that the only way I
could look at X-Windows was from such a live CD. And back then I was
using a CD-ROM which had its own IDE card, and was 1x speed. The window
manager, I believe was twm (it could have been feeble, but I think not).
But, as you might imagine, this was sloooow! I later sold the CD along
with other stuff to another computer enthusiast.

Now, I complain if I can't get Evolution to talk to my Palm Pilot under
KDE.
