And, yes, I do remember installing Linux doing a floppy disk "shuffle". One Christmas Eve I installed Linux (Debian) on my wife's old Dell laptop for Spawn2 when he was 4 years old. It was a royal pain, but he LOVED it.
I remember getting Red Hat 6.1 "Cartman" to connect to the internet - dial up - via external modem in 1999. I thought I was King of the Linux geeks.
On Ubuntu 10.10 now.
