My first UNIX experience was in college, probably around 1988/89. The systems there were a mix of DEC Ultrix (running on VAX hardware) and SunOS.
My first experience with Linux itself would be some time around 1996. I think that was Red Hat Linux 3. I wasn't very impressed with it at the time - I much preferred working with my SunOS/Solaris systems.
Needless to say, Linux is far far better today than it was then.
Nice project, but I notice that there is no support for the old Microsoft Word for DOS (.DOC files, but different from the ones generated by Word for Windows). Microsoft deprecated and abandoned their import filters many years ago, so reading these documents is pretty unreliable these days,
