Thought this was a pretty interesting piece of Linux history, and unintentionally quite funny as well :p

I bought one of those release CDs. I used it to be able to use ppp + my 486's modem to connect to my employer's network which let me WFH on an 80x24 tty.

An excellent return on the $99 spent. :)

Well... it means I was (and fyi still am) the kind of rube that is on fixed salary but works way more than 9-5 M-F

But at least I do it in my PJ's at home
