Re: The earliest release of Linux by Linus Torvalds

In the very early days, the only way to get Linux components was by dialup download.
There were no "distributions". It was everybody for themselves.

If one had an issue, it was easy to email Linus or Alan Cox.

I did a few ports in 1992/93 including things like gated and imapd and Alan and/or Linus made the necessary kernel mods when I needed them.

Interesting times - specially when changing things like libc.

But I cannot find any first CD iso releases.

Thanks for any links.
