Friends, family, lovers and haters. Due to his $dayjob
, @mischa is bound to go into US territory. If he gets snatched by ICE or whatever - I will try to get him back no matter what - really.
Who is with me?
I'm so tired, lads.
I'm currently at a museum in northern Germany. I've wanted to come to this museum for over 15 years. And minor planning screw ups aside. It's wonderful. Well curated. And almost completely full with an artifact. Yes. Artifact singular. But, as with all excellent museums. This museum tells a story. A story I think is significant, and worth sharing. So let's have a little thread.

Do you love old *nix systems as much as I do?
I have been playing around Xenix and SysV lately, and I haven't run pre-2.0 Linux in a while. Time to install the first public release of Debian - 0.91 - powered by Linux 0.99.14t and see what it has to offer.
The full OS tarball is a bit over 30 megabytes, and it comes with three 1.2MB floppies (boot + 2 base OS), and a bunch of "deb" packages. MacOS file says the files are actually gzipped data. Inside there's a cpio archive with package files, plus /var/dpkg folder with some meta-data.
Debian 0.91 recommends having at least 4MB of RAM.
The shell loads very fast, and then the OS offers to start a setup utility.
