[14:25] Same [14:26] Well the Linux on floppies thing [14:26] No OS/2. :) [14:26] it seemed back then that floppies that software came on were more reliable than floppies people wrote. [14:26] heh. [14:26] os/2 was great [14:26] even after moving to linux i missed it a little [14:27] but when you wanted to use things like gcc on os/2 they performed rather poorly. [14:28] err all the gnu ported type stuff. lynx, gcc, etc had high startup time. [14:28] but os/2 was more memory efficient than linux, and i only had 8mb of ram. as long as i didn't use gui on either, os/2 tended to outperform. [14:29] the whole open source thing was kind of exciting, until you realised that often meant buggy software (back then) [14:30] but obviously open source isn't inherently buggy, because things are a lot better these days. [14:31] And if there is a bug, you can fix it! [14:35] in theory, yes :) [15:59] *** milki_ has joined #arpnetworks [16:00] *** mkb_ has joined #arpnetworks [16:03] *** mkb has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [16:03] *** milki has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [16:03] *** relrod has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [16:03] *** relrod_ has joined #arpnetworks [16:03] *** relrod_ has quit IRC (Changing host) [16:03] *** relrod_ has joined #arpnetworks [16:50] *** mkb_ is now known as mkb [18:40] Were those 5.25" floppies?
