          I think Slackware from a Walnut Creek cd that someone acquired. I did not do much with it though just tinkering at the time.

                    How did I miss this thread?

                    IRIX - SGI Equipment, 1996

                    1x Origin 2000 Server
                    4x 64-bit CPU,
                    1GB RAM,
                    8x300GB 15k SCSI HDD

                    Should I be concerned that I still remember the server specs?

                      I first started with Ubuntu I believe it was 7.1.

                      I've been in an on again/off again relationship with the OS ever since.
