Yeah, I started with an early version of Redhat (2.0 I think) running
one of the early monolithic  1.X kernels on that 166 Pentium. I
gradually upgraded to redhat 3.0 then 5.2 then 6.0  where it's stayed
since.

Way back when I was pretty adepts in running the Vax systems we had in
college and I was interested in acquiring a MicroVAX running Vax/VMS for
my at home computing interests. Unfortunately as a  college student I
couldn't afford such fancy high end computing equipment.

I'd still like to acquire a PDP-11
