First Unix (owned by self) was a Fortune 16:32 6800 machine I got from my Grandfather's estate (??1977). Didn't have good connections with any community - so that lasted perhaps 2 years and didn't learn quite as much as I should have.<br>
<br>
First Linux successfully working was a Red Hat CD - a friend came by and managed to get my printer working, although that was the third or fourth install attempted. ? 1995-6 time period?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">
