Welcome to Computer History.

We are nolstagia driven with our choice of posts and discussion of the impact of technology.

A lot of what ends up posted here has a bias towards the 1970s' up until now simply because "we" experienced a lot of this "new" technology directly as it was released.

Our community goal is to become more than just a collection of links-- we want to be a community of shared experience.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.capebreton.social, are as follows:

I first installed Slackware in 93 or 94 and the way people talked about Linux then, I thought it had been around since the 70's. Can't believe I was checking this out so early. It was one of the first things I ever did with my first computer that wasn't my parent's.

slackware was my first distro as well, I think I still have the book and cd for it in a box somewhere.
