Not exactly a Linux installation media but Minix 1.2 (September 01, 1987) described in Andy Tanenbaum's book "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation."
Linus Torvalds bought that book in 1989 and according to wikipedia, it "changed Torvalds's life: he was fascinated by the clear structure of Unix and its underlying philosophy."
Torvalds used Minix 1.3 to start developing a couple of years later (January 1991) what was later known as Linux...
First I really used was Mandrake 6.0 in 1998 I think. Have those and DeadRat 5.2 still.
In fact i still use the background images for Eterm that came with Mandrake 6 I think
(different space background on each launch of Eterm).
A lot of images, have added some, used them ever since Mandrake 6 to 8.
A Caldera install CD. I had the box set that included Wabi and Netscape Server licenses, circa 1996. I used to have RedHat CD's on the wall but lost track of them during moves.
Hi all
My Linux SLS 1.04 Diskette B1 delivered by S.u.S.E. in Fürth

Was third on the list when I sent the pic and I think it is still valid.

Your account was updated to "Contributing Member" as noted in post #151.
This pair began the development of the State of California's GIS.
I tried Yggdrasil and saw the potential. Then found Slackware and GIS left the area of hot air and joined the area of real. Open Source is a mighty tool.
