The First Linux Distro?

[Scott Mellott]

I have the CDs and docs sitting on my office book shelf for Yggdrasil Summer and Fall '94 releases.  I have them 
displayed to prove to people that Linux is not necessarily that new.  I ran them both on a 386SX system I built back in 
the day with a whopping 256kb RAM, an 80Mb hard drive and 1X SCSI CD-ROM (slow!).
