Hmmm... Old school... mid '90s... That makes early '80s what?  Venerable?  Ancient?  Hmmm... doddy and senile, that must be it... :-)

I remember when we didn't have web resources... Yeah, we wrote programs with ones and zeros.  Sometimes the companies were so cheap, we wouldn't even get ones.  Ever write a database with only zeros?  Dang tough, I'll tell ya'!  Video screens?  Heck, we had hard copy terminals and were happy for it!  A shell prompt was a precious thing.  Some poor guys were stuck with cards in those days.  By cracky... time for my nap... where's my nurse?

Maybe somebody on the list can help analyzing the files.  I think a few of us can actually remember "the old days"...

Cheers!

Hey guys - 

I'm working on a project and I ran into a slight hiccup.  I figured I'd give a shout and see if any of you old school linux users had any suggestions.



I need some config files from mid 1990's linux distros.  I'm doing some comparative analysis of config files (don't ask) but I'm running short on resources for some of the ancient distros.  Does anyone know of a good resource on the web where I could find some?



Thanks.


Brad
