Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Your writeup could just as well have been written by me. I vividly remember the cardboard box full of diskettes required to install SLS that I prepared and experimented with in 1993.
A few years later, in 1995, I freelanced as a writer for a computer magazine and they asked me to write a review of Linux, based on a new offering called RedHat. I had before that played around with Slackware but RedHat was totally different and I was very impressed both with the installer ans with the support I received when I came across some odd problems while installing. Suffice to say I was hooked on RedHat after that.
The review I wrote was the first ever in my country about Linux, which is my modest claim to fame, now well lost and buried in the annals of time… :-)
