Re: The earliest release of Linux by Linus Torvalds

[Stephen Davies]

In the very early days, the only way to get Linux components was by dialup 
download.
There were no "distributions". It was everybody for themselves.

If one had an issue, it was easy to email Linus or Alan Cox.

I did a few ports in 1992/93 including things like gated and imapd and Alan 
and/or Linus made the necessary kernel mods when I needed them.

Interesting times - specially when changing things like libc.
