Re: 1976 and M17
Steve,

Re: 1976 and M17
I recall hosting images.slashdot.org at wolfe.net (a major dial-up ISO) in
Seattle in 1996 on a pent 133 box running Debian. We did that because we

Re: 1976 and M17
For the post-minicomputer generation, the relevant genX analogy will be that of Linux vs. Windows. Linux offered the same open source freedom that M17 does today in that it was a completely
