Good!  Guess my "move to 1.0" speech wasn't necessary.  :-)

OK,  I won't tell anyone.  :-)

Youngster!  :-)   You really missed out on the tough years of Linux!

Don't get me wrong, Linux has always been extremely stable, even back in
the 1.0 days, but it was very rough around the edges, and there wasn't
much software available for it (compared to today).

I should send you a copy of my 1.0 CD so you can really appreciate how
good we have it now!  :-)  But you may have to find a 386 to run it on. 
I'm not sure it would run on modern hardware...
