Linux during the mid to late 90s (Windows 95 and 98 era)
For those veteran linux people, what was it like back in 90s? I did see and hear of Unix systems being available for use but I did not see much apart from old versions of Debian in use.
Were they prominent in education like universities? Was it mainly a hobbyist thing at the time compared to the business needs of 98, 95 and classic mac?
I ask this because I found out that some PC games I owned were apparently also on Linux even in CD format from a firm named Loki.
You're viewing a single thread.
You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:
Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!
Fucking why doesn't this compilation start I can't find my mistake for hours?!
Where does this module come from?! What do you mean "root kit"? Learning was fun!
It all was fun! :)
I recently tried to compile Crossover's Wine from source. I went through many compile errors, fixed dependency issues and started over etc. In the end I think I compiled vanilla Wine imstead of Crossover (there are different source tarballs) because O365 still refused to install lol.
