Slackware 13.37: Linux for the fun of it

I don't actually remember whether I went through that or not--perhaps that's the age kicking in. :) I do remember I started with Slack (and GNU/Linux) in 1995 at kernel version 1.2.13, so if that's the version with a.out, then I did. I got started because the nonprofit I was working for couldn't afford a new server, so I resurrected a 386SX with 4M of RAM from the attic (literally) to serve in that capacity. I had a web server book that came with a CD copy of Slackware, and so I used that for the first install. It served as local smtp, uucp, pop3, afp, and dns for quite a number of years running 24/7, until I understand it finally gave up the blue smoke. (I was already on to other pursuits by then.) The organization folded shortly after the server died, so perhaps the person that succeeded me hadn't done proper backups...
