Me too, me too! Though I didn't think to get my CD autographed. I
thought it was fall '95? (Pretty sure I was still living in what was
basically a converted broom closet in Devine Hall, but maybe I'm
counting wrong.) I think by 97 (definitely by 98) they had ripped out
the VT220s from the engineering labs and installed linux PCs.
I remember spending most (all?) of the night following Linus' talk and
the following day defragging windows, repartitioning, installing,
rebuilding a kernel, getting drivers to work, (re-)re-partitioning so
everything fit... I was pretty psyched about actually having *unix* in
my room -- with gcc and everything! -- without having to connect to an
overburdened campus unix server, worry about the connection dropping, etc.
