I recall my older brother and his friends trying to install Linux on a system with a Matrox S3 graphics pn our families computer, HP Pavilion 133mhz with 16mb RAM.

Back when X was Xfree86 and you were required to create the X configuration without internet.

Oh yeah, the Internet... is was very hard to get things set up if you changed one file and then it turned to a command prompt with no possibility to access a browser, LOL.

Now days when the same thing happens, you could just grab the Internet phone located right in front of you and search away. Technology really changed life.
