BTW, FYI, Slackware is 10 years old today :-) That was my first exposure to Linux back in fall of '93 when me and co-workers downloaded the floppy image files from a BBS over a 2400 baud modem. Those were the days! I installed SLS 1.03 (with kernel 0.99.14plg) on about 10 386 and 486 machines in my lab back in 1992. From dozens of floppies. You'd march the floppies around the lab, starting with disk 1 in machine 1, then moving it onto machine 2 while machine 1 dealt with disk 1, and so on. Loads of fun. Upgrading to Slackware 1.0 was a treat, if only because it came on CD and had an "install via NFS" option - you could stick the CD on your SPARCStation and export it, then install all 10 machines at a time. -- Paul Tomblin , not speaking for anybody God is real, unless declared as an integer. |

All horses are the same color. Proof by induction. One horse is the same color. Assume n horses are the same color to prove n+1 horses are the same color. Take one horse out of the set of n+1. You have n horses of the same color by induction hypothesis. Do this n+1 times to obtain n+1 sets, all the same color. Therefore, n+1 horses are the same color. Theorem 1. Horses have an infinite number of legs. Proof by intimidation. Horses have an even number of legs. They have their 2 hind legs in back, and their forelegs in front. Which makes 6 legs, which is certainly an odd number of legs for a horse. The only number that is both even and odd is infinity. Furthermore, assume there exists a horse with a finite number of legs. Well, that is a horse of a different color, which by lemma 1 doesn't exist. QED We now resume our regularly scheduled discussion of aviation.

Those were the days! I installed my first slackware, must've been '94 or '95 on a Toshiba 486 laptop. 25 MHz, 4 MB RAM, 350 MB hard disk. Not enough power to run XWindows, but a buddy who had a similar configuration sure tried. Downloaded it to the university where I was working and wrote all 50 floppy disks. ObAvition: does anyone have a good flight simulator for Linux? I'm looking for something I can practice instrument approach procedures... Morris (feeling like an oldtimer) |
