[ale] Ancient desktop

[Boris Borisov]

First X Linux I ran was some custom stripped down Linux on fat file system
very similar to zipslack. I believe is called Monkey Linux.

Ole Unisys PC someone gave me 16 Mhz 386SX with 4 megs ram.

Exciting times of experimenting and figuring out stuff. You needed
patience.
