[Cialug] Old Linux Journal Article

[Dave Weis]

I think that was sophomore year. I did get an 8595 with a 486 dx processor at auction after that and also an 8590.  I was the first person in the world to run Linux on both of them and had to write my own ethernet card driver to get online. 

I was also the first person ever to run Linux on an Apple Quadra 950 (badass at the time) and had to write a scsi driver to make that happen. 

Thanks work study!!!!

Wow, a lot has changed in 14 years.
Then:
*PS/2, 4MB RAM, 60MB HD, 16/32 bit 386SX Processor
Dave Weis, Student

Now:
DIY PC with 6 cores, 64 bit, at least 4GB RAM, and at least 600GB HD
Dave Weis, business owner.

* To be fair, the 55SX was old in '97. Probably about as old as Dave
looks in the picture. :)
