[ale] RH8.0: first impressions

[James P. Kinney III]

1994. Slackware floppies downloaded from UNC. Grabbed set A and N and
pulled the rest from inside a running Linux system. It took over a month
to get all the parameters right for X on a Trident video card and a full
color vga monitor. The first time I saw fvwm (and tkdesktop and fvwm2) I
nearly fell out of my chair. Then months spent tweaking dot files.

Now "it all just works".
